The Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Insights Library
The Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR) Insights Library brings together engagement insights, research and lived experience from across local communities and organisations. It provides a single place to access and share evidence that can help improve services and inform decision making.
By making insight more accessible, the library supports collaboration, reduces duplication and helps ensure community voices are heard across health and care services.

What is the LLR Insights Library?
The LLR Insights Library is a central hub for engagement insights from across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board (LLR ICB)’s partners and communities. It is a single place and point of contact where finalised engagement reports and local insight can be submitted to assist with collaborative system working, making them more accessible to partner organisations, our local communities, and more recently, members of the public.
The LLR Insights Library has become an essential resource with the following key aims:
- Support collaboration between organisations around gathering insight, enabling links to be made between individuals/organisations who are working on the same area, or are wanting the answers to the same questions. Making the best possible use of available resource.
- Move away from seeing residents as patients or service users towards seeing them as members of local communities with valuable experience and insight to share.
- Support the use of a variety of methods for gathering insight, moving away from an over-reliance on surveys to methods that nurture and use existing relationships.
- Collect and organise insight being gathered across the system to make it easily accessible and searchable
