11. Toolkit LOCHABER PARTNERSHIP TOOLKIT OUTCOMES ACTION NOTES
ACTION NOTES
The CPP requires equalities training.
The CPP needs to take more opportunity to understand experiences of
those living in poverty or facing disadvantage i.e. hearing directly from people or groups in the community
CPP the CPP needs to improve joint planning around tackling inequality and disadvantage.
Need to widen the range of engagement methods to reach the ‘silent voice’. i.e. going in to the community, social media?
Need to improve feedback on the experiences of those that it engages with and acts on it?
Need to improve contribution to the design of the SOA.
Need training for local members regarding their CPP role.
Need to improve how we collect and evidence effectiveness (actions based).
Need to encourage and be more experimental with improvement activity.

12. How do we describe the vision to the community?
Looking Forward: Local Community Partnership in Lochaber
Marie Law, District Manager, NHS Highland shares her thoughts and hopes.
As facilitator of the new structure in Lochaber, I would like to think that the new Local Community Partnerships will bring opportunities to really plan things from the “grass-roots” up. It shouldn’t be about what we assume people and communities want: we need to get out and engage with people, listen to what they want, discuss what’s possible, and then ensure that our plans fit with that.
Our ways of gaining older people’s views are quite well-established here, but we are keen to engage more with the “silent-majority” – the 35 – 45 year olds with families. As well as dealing with the “here and now” of health and social care, we need to
pre-empt the challenges of the future, and get involved in discussions and preventative planning with the 0 to 45 year olds. We should take our learning from the experiences of the older people and middle-aged people of now to improve things for the future: invest our resources in preventing the same things becoming issues for our future generations.
The ethos for planning here in Lochaber will be about picking things up earlier, focussing on prevention, emphasising health promotion, health improvement – but doing that in new ways that will appeal to whole families, and to people who don’t usually get involved.
The plans for improvement will ideally be really focussed – drawing out from our discussions at grass-roots level, 3 or so key areas to work on, 3 objectives, instead of a long list of aspirations which we might never achieve. As a partnership, we can work on these really hard together with communities, try to bring about real improvement and achieve good outcomes for local people. We’ll also focus on making specific improvements in three geographic areas – Kinlochleven, Caol and the Fort William High School Catchment Area. Having good community conversations, working with people towards the outcomes they want not only feels good but is community resilience at its best.
The new partnership already has a different feel to it: partner organisations will be acting and learning together with communities, drawing widely on the strengths and skills available to do things, not just talk about things that “could happen”. The Partnership meetings will hopefully involve “champions” from work areas feeding back on key activities and progress, as well as providing a wider sounding-board.
Basically, it should be about working in partnership with communities and getting things done!

13. How Do We Support Community Engagement
National Standards for Community Engagement.
Communication
Inclusion
Support
Planning
Working Together
Methods

14. Community Partnership Planning
Action and outcome focused.
Achievable
Reflect the need of the community and developed with them.
Require partnership intervention
Focus on addressing socio-economic inequality
Evidence based
Some will be ‘quick wins’ and others will be long term.
Foundations for the long term – marathon, not a sprint.

15. Community Partnership Planning
Based on SHANARRI – Shared language across all Community Partnerships:-
Safe
Healthy
Achieving
Nurtured
Active
Respected Responsible
Included
Foundations for the long term – marathon, not a sprint.

16. Community Partnership Planning
All Plans should be in simple English ‘Jargon free’.
Be ‘sense checked’ with the local community.
A conduit between pure strategy and meaningful local action.
Foundations for the long term – marathon, not a sprint.

17. How do we record the plans and evidence the success?
The driver diagram is the methodology of choice for developing actions. It is action focused and a living document which will inform actions. It will help keep a realistic succinct focus on 2 or 3 achievable actions rather than a long list of unachievable desires.

18. Communication Posters Word of mouth Website Twitter
Community Group Boards
Local Stores
Patient Opinion
