The proposed programme will engage priority communities, including CORE20PLUS5 groups, to gather community insight and support the co-design of accessible, equitable and community-led solutions to improve oral health outcomes. It is proposed that the provider delivers this work through an established network of community partners, which provides direct access to the identified priority groups, including Eastern European, South Asian, Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities, children with SEND, looked-after children, and families living in deprived areas. The engagement and co-production approach requires a provider with strong, trusted relationships and established community reach. This approach will ensure meaningful engagement with the target communities and support the development of locally informed oral health interventions.",
