A Local Family Partnership A Local Family Partnership (LFP) will be set up in each of the six localities These will take a multi-agency/disciplinary role in overseeing the effectiveness of services, building on what is working well, identifying concerns and finding local solutions A strong focus on community engagement and building community capacity with each LFP holding a small budget for local initiatives The LFPs will establish reference groups for parents/carers and for children/young people – facilitated by a Community Development Worker Key objective - to identify on an ongoing basis for their locality: What is working well? Develop mechanisms for meaningful participation and engagement e.g. surveys, locality ‘gatherings’. With a strong emphasis on communities within the locality area. What are we worried about? Including the use of local needs and performance data. What would make a difference? What can we change? What can’t we change locally that we need wider support to change?
