Statement of Community Involvement Sample Clauses

Statement of Community Involvement. Xxxxxx has a long tradition of working in partnership. The potential for the Voluntary and Community sector (VCS) to assist in ensuring that residents and service users are given a voice in the strategic planning, design and delivery of services to their communities, has been recognised in a variety of ways, such as the adoption of user and carer engagement strategies, resident and community group involvement in regeneration, parent and carer involvement in the development and management of Sure Start and the involvement of Children and Young People through Children’s Fund Voices Project. The mission for Xxxxxx’x Voluntary and Community sector is to improve the quality of life for all our residents particularly those who are marginalised or experience disadvantage. To this end the Sector seeks to ensure that services are offered in accessible and culturally sensitive ways that reflect the needs of our diverse communities and embrace the Sector’s values of equity and equality. The development of the LAA represents an opportunity to build on, embed and develop existing good practice around the key principles of: • Service delivery – the direct involvement of voluntary and community groups in delivering key services. • Governance – direct involvement in the decision-making processes affecting the LAA and related LSP business. • Social capital – engaging the VCS/wider community in building the social capital within the local area The LAA presents an opportunity to further develop The Sefton Compact ‘Working Better – Together’ to ensure that the exciting vision contained within it is driven through the operational levels of the partner organisations. The existing partnership climate in Sefton is very positive, which is of significant value to developing a robust and holistic LAA. The priorities within the LAA build on those developed within the recently drafted Community Strategy, which was developed after the Partnership spent six months reviewing the priority outcomes and targets within it. This review was influenced by what we have been told by local residents through different consultation mechanisms and shared data available across partners. There is a range of existing avenues through which strategies and policies have been developed including regular surveys through the Sefton Citizen Panel, Public Meetings and targeted consultation aimed at either particular groups within the population or defined neighbourhoods The Voluntary and Community sector is thr...

Statement of Community Involvement. All partners are committed to ensuring that the engagement and participation of the voluntary and community sector (VCS) is fundamental to the success of the Local Area Agreement. This is both in terms of helping shape future service planning by bringing an understanding of the needs of particular client groups, and in terms of delivery through commissioning direct provision of services from the sector. The sector is involved at all levels in the structure, including the Lincolnshire Assembly Executive, the LAA Project Management Board, and the steering groups for the four blocks. In addition we have engaged with locally based voluntary and community groups through the district area Local Strategic Partnerships, and through stakeholder conferences and events. Following a number of meetings and briefing sessions the sector convened a conference on 6th December that aimed to develop a consensus approach to engaging with and contributing to the delivery of the LAA. The event was well attended and facilitated by a National Neighbourhood Renewal Adviser from GOEM. There was broad consensus on a number of key issues and commitment to developing an action plan to move the sector forward in relation to the LAA. A full report of the event is available on the Lincolnshire Assembly website. It is clear that:  The Lincolnshire Assembly continues to welcome and accept the VCS as full members. We also recognise that partners are seeking representation from the sector on the new Strategy Board and that we are working together on identifying the most appropriate way forward. We are doing this with the assistance of GOEM and a programme has been set for further consideration at the follow up event on the 26th January.  There is more to be done to support and train colleagues in the sector to enable effective participation and there is commitment from partners to support this type of activity. We appreciate the work of colleagues in the sector who have taken on the LAA development and are helping to share understanding and knowledge but recognise that more work on communication is required. This will be addressed through the LAA Year 1 action plan.  Lincolnshire values VCS member’s views and contributions in different partnerships including LSPs and Block Partnerships such as the Children and Young People’s Strategic Partnership and the Community Safety Partnerships locally. At the Block level there are best practice examples of engagement with the sector. For example: T...

To give our Local Area Agreement substance and increase the chances of successful implementation, we have begun action planning now. We will be holding workshops for each Local Area Agreement block to maximise partnership contribution to action planning, these will include representatives from public sector organisations, the community and voluntary sector and local businesses, as well as faith, ethnic minority communities and other groups. We will also engage children and young people through the Youth Parliament and other groups of young people. Medway’s Local Strategic Partnership is committed to improving the way in which it measures and manages achievement where different partners are involved in delivery of targets. We will develop strong governance arrangements for the Local Area Agreement, which will ensure the Partnership maintains a clear overview of performance and can hold partners to account for delivery. This will form the basis of a longer-term project to improve performance data sharing across the Local Strategic Partnership. • Achievement against targets • Accounting for expenditure of funds pooled within the LAA • Identification of risks to achievement and proposed mitigation • Progress in using agreed enablers Block sponsors, co-ordinated by the Local Strategic Partnership manager, will prepare reports.

Statement of Community Involvement. 2.1 The Kensington and Chelsea Partnership has worked closely with local people and with the voluntary and community sector to identify the priorities for improvement in the Community Strategy and the Local Area Agreement. 2.2 As set out at paragraph 1.5 above, the selection process for the voluntary outcomes included in the Agreement was informed by extensive consultation with stakeholders from all sectors. Representatives of the voluntary and community sector played an important part in the selection process. Detailed work was carried out by a sub-group of the KCP, made up of four voluntary and community sector representatives and three public sector representatives.1 This work was overseen and endorsed by the full KCP Steering Group, on which voluntary and community sector representatives likewise make up over half of the membership. Outcomes contained in the LAA that were actively supported by the voluntary and community sector include increasing the active involvement of children and young people in decision-making, and improving food and nutrition in deprived communities. 2.3 Voluntary and community sector organisations, and local people themselves, have not only helped to shape the Local Area Agreement but will also help to deliver the outcomes and associated targets that it contains. In particular, the local Citizens Advice Bureau will lead the delivery of outcome 15, which aims to increase the income levels of target groups and forms part of the reward element of the Agreement. To support the achievement of stretching income maximisation targets, mainstream Council funding for local voluntary advice agencies of over £1 million a year will be supplemented by an allocation of pump-priming grant to the Citizens Advice Bureau. 2.4 The Kensington and Chelsea Partnership recognises the important role that the voluntary and community sector plays in building stronger communities, and statutory partners support a wide range of specialist voluntary organisations to work with particular communities in the borough. That is why the KCP Steering Group is exploring the potential for a new measurement methodology in support of outcome 3 to capture how effectively clients of voluntary organisations are empowered to have a greater voice and influence over local decision-making and the delivery of services. 2.5 Kensington and Chelsea has a strong voluntary sector infrastructure. The capacity of voluntary and community sector organisations to deliver local prioritie...
