Moving forward from the initial scene setting events in January, we have looked at the feedback and have included some of the key points within today’s forum. You wanted to know what other services are out there and what are the locality needs. The full feedback was issued following the January event, however, if you’ve not seen it let one of our team know and we can e-mail this to you.

Feedback from the January Events. Related to Community Planning Partners: A clear vision on how the TSF fits in with the community planning process. Related to Locality awareness: What services the sector provides in the locality, building a picture of what the locality looks like and have details on the needs of the locality. Partnership and Collaboration: Provide examples of where organisations work well in partnership. Funding: Ensuring funders are more in tune with local needs. Key feedback from January. How does the TSF fit with CPP. Can we build a picture of the locality, what services are out there. Examples of partnership working, and the ongoing issue of funding. We will touch on each of these points during today, starting with ‘How does the TSF fit with CPP?’

How the TSF fits in with the community planning process. Third Sector Forum Locality Planning Group (C.S / HSC) Integration Board / Children’s Services Strategy Group. Community Planning Partnership How the TSF fits in with the community planning process. Community Planning Partners meet within wide number of key steering and strategic groups; However, over recent months the key areas that the Third Sector can feed into sit within these four.

How the TSF fits in with the community planning process. Third Sector Forum Locality Planning Group (C.S / HSC) Integration Board / Children’s Services Strategy Group. Community Planning Partnership How the TSF fits in with the community planning process.

What’s out there? An activity based workshop. So, what’s out there, VASLan can produce a vast array of data liked to services across the South Lanarkshire area.

Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) Your locality from a service provision viewpoint. As part of understanding other services Citizens Advice Bureau have agree to provide and overview of CAB and more importantly what are the key issues in this locality.

Break and Networking 15 minutes

Speed Workshops 15 minute sessions Getting it Right for Every Child in South Lanarkshire. OSCR New Annual Return and Trustees Guidance. Training and development, what’s needed. Again, looking at the feedback and the request of more networking / activity, we though we would provide a few quick sessions on these topics.

Locality Representatives At the January events we spoke about having a discussion / vote on locality representation at the Health and Social care Locality Planning Groups. To date only one scene setting meetings have taken place, and to add to that this week has seen the start of GIRFEC Locality Planning Groups. What we would ask you to agree, is that the interim reps for Health and Social care Locality Planning Groups remain as is until such time as we are clear on the level of commitment required. As for the GIRFEC Locality Planning Groups, we would ask that if you are interested and it’s appropriate to your operational area that you e-mail Charlie to register your interest, as with the Health and Social Care meetings it’s unclear on the level of commitment that will be needed. What we do know is that both these locality groups will meet on a quarterly basis, and we are looking at how we schedule the TSF meeting to ensure we can make the best linkages.
