It’s been a few years for me installing shower valves, but I’ve got two in my new house which are dripping through the main head. I think I need to replace the cartridge but want to double check first with some pictures to identify the potential fix and brand for parts.
I’ve tightened it as far up as I can and removed the parts as far back as I can reach

Took the top valve off, think it’s called a diverter. Washer looks fine but I think the leak is happening via the white insert. I can’t seem to find this online though.

1. In the second photograph, the moving ceramic insert appears cracked.
2. Not readily available as a spare part on it own, but try tapmagician.co.uk and look under spare parts. I'd also replace the blue silicone rubber ring, as it is this which presses the two ceramic discs together, and it looks a bit crushed.
 
As an update the cartridge from Divapor worked a treat. Thanks for the support
