Written representations should be sent to [email protected] The award decision-makers were: Heather Ryder - SCC, Senior Public Health Lead; Camilla Edmiston - Woking Borough Council, Community Safety Policy Officer; Sarah Haywood - Surrey Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, Serious Violence Programme Lead Through the assessment of their submission, the provider meets each of the key criteria listed as part of the PSR process. Stand out points include: 1. Quality / innovation - the service is developing to respond to the need of the population, through the existing telephone platform but also developing the sms system and online presence. 2. Value - due to the model of provision, the return on investment ratio for the service is high for this service; the cost to run is minimal yet is available to the entire adult population of Surrey. 3. Integration, collaboration and service sustainability - the service works collaboratively within the substance misuse system and wider health and social care partnerships, with well defined signposting opportunities. 4. Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice - the service offers a range of contact points, including a 24/7 option. As well as substance misuse, the volunteer call handlers provide information, advice and signposting for a range of health and social care-related services. 5. Social value - the service uses local volunteers, including those with lived experience, to operate the service. The commitment to offer opportunities to those with lived experience is well recognised within the submission.
