CCPS membership meeting December 2008 Strategic plan update: responding to the new ‘localism’

Strategic plan: key theme The new policy, planning and funding environment for public services The Scottish Government has brought about a radically different policy, planning and funding environment in which providers of care and support services will operate, based on the attainment of national outcomes

Strategic plan: key theme CCPS needs to respond by: supporting members to understand and respond to the new ‘localism’ heralded by the concordat with local government (including single outcome agreements and community planning partnerships)

The story so far… Briefings, presentations, bulletins, Info Digest items, etc, on concordat, SOA development Analysis of all 32 SOAs, with detailed information on content and policy commentary Sessions at membership meetings and conference Involvement of staff/members in relevant events and consultations Engagement with other initiatives, eg. SCVO

Survey of CCPS members 90% of our members were not approached to contribute to SOA process 25% tried anyway, but saw little impact 84% had read some or all SOAs 76% expected SOAs to change relationships 50% are developing a strategy to engage with councils through SOAs 45% already have a route into community planning 77% would engage if route were available

Strategic plan: key activity “develop/refine policy on how best to support provider representation in local areas, on SOAs, funding and related issues”

Supporting local activity investigate existing routes ‘in’ facilitate communication between members locally continue to respond to specific local issues …but not (at this stage) creating local CCPS groups
