Update from CQC's Regulators Pioneers Fund project
The Health Inequalities Improvement Framework was developed through a structured process of scoping, co-design, testing, and refinement. Each phase involved a collaborative effort with ICSs, VCSEs, and people with lived experience, ensuring the framework is practical, impactful, and ready to drive meaningful change in tackling health inequalities.

Phases
Framework refinement and Launch
From December 2024 to February 2025, the final phase focuses on incorporating feedback from the testing phase to refine the framework and ensure it is practical, impactful, and tailored to the needs of ICSs. This phase also includes preparing for the official launch event, which will showcase the framework’s applications and its role in tackling health inequalities.
The virtual launch event, scheduled for 12 February 2025, will bring together ICS leaders, VCSEs, people with lived experience and other key stakeholders. The event will provide an opportunity to explore the framework in detail, share insights, and discuss how it can drive improvements in outcomes for people and communities.
