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

3. 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

4. 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)

5. 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

6. 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

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

8. 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
