The City Conversation, organised by Oxford City Council, included representatives from Oxfordshire’s homelessness organisations, health and mental health providers, faith groups, public bodies, local councillors, and people with lived experience of rough sleeping. It was the largest conversation of its kind to take place in Oxford. The aim of the conversation was to start to find a common understanding of what causes rough sleeping and street homelessness in Oxford – and find the means to tackle the issue.

- 41. - The person is a director in the work and a partner in the recording - The city has the knowledge, the person owns the information
- 42. Key Principles of using M-Think • 1. Keep the person at the centre – Individuals who have their information on M- Think should be kept informed of what is being recorded and should be supported in accessing and viewing their own information. • 2. Only record and share what is needed – to ensure information held is relevant and targeted to deliver the best support for the individual. • 3. Keep information accurate and up-to-date – so staff are not misled, the right support is offered and it is offered at the right time for the person. • 4. Keep it simple – Where necessary, use simple language that everyone can understand, avoid jargon and minimise words in text. • 5. Be proactive and forward thinking – M-Think works best when used to plan for activities and shows the journey individuals want to go on as opposed to where they have been.
