Examples of our work

Designing the Adult Social Care internet pages

A photo from our co-production engagement session with the Learning Disability Partnership Board.

We held engagement sessions with members of the West Berkshire Learning Disability Partnership Board and Stroke Care Newbury and West Berkshire to review the design and layout of our care for adults webpages.

We discussed three potential design ideas, looking at the images we should (or shouldn't) use, what layout would work best for people and the words we should be using. These discussions led to new designs, using much more colour and inclusive imagery.

Our co-production sessions helped us to understand what design would work best for the people using our site, and where we could improve.

The Carers Strategy Group, run by West Berkshire Council, includes representatives from carers organisations such as:


Companion Pets project
