3. Locality structures in Manchester District-based commissioning (Adult Social Care) “encourage more active citizenship of residents, and enable district based working which both takes account of local needs and optimises capacity within the community from other council services, partner agencies and the voluntary sector” Integrated Commissioning Districts (Children’s Services) All agencies working with children in each of the six districts are required to understand the current service provision, the specific needs of their particular district and be able to identify any gaps. Practice-based Commissioning Hubs (NHS Manchester) PBC “enables primary care professionals…to redesign services that better meet the needs of their patients”.

5. Aims of work Increase level of engagement with JSNA process among commissioners working at locality level Build up local skills around needs assessment, data analysis and community engagement Stimulate joint working between commissioners in NHS, Adult Social Care and Children’s Services Improve extent of community and user involvement in identifying local priorities via JSNA Greater synergy between commissioning intentions and delivery of services at neighbourhood, locality and citywide levels

6. Intended outcomes Better analysis and interpretation of the available data and research evidence at locality level in order to identify specific areas of "district focus" that complement the city- wide priorities. Agreement regarding a common approach to needs assessment among Children’s Services Districts and other partners to ensure consistency between different local strategies. A more joined-up approach to community engagement that helps the three main partners to understand better the different perspectives of local residents, patients and service users.

7. Processes Identify a Project Manager to agree and co-ordinate the process across the different localities within the city (agreed) Set up a Project Team in each locality, made up of representatives from the PBC Hubs, Children's Services Districts and Adult Social Care, to lead the process of developing the JSNA for their area. The Manchester Joint Health Unit will provide additional specialist support. However, the majority of work to produce the Locality JSNAs will be carried out, and owned, by the localities themselves.

8. Timetable Early May – Meetings with key stakeholders to agree projects leads in each locality End of May - Meeting with project leads to define the areas for the locality JSNAs and deciding who will be in the project teams. End of June - Hold initial meetings with project teams in each locality Mid-September – Completion of first drafts of Locality JSNAs (end of National Dataset Project) End of October – Completion and publication of final versions of Locality JSNAs

9. Support needed Information Centre – Support for creation of a ‘small- area’ version of the national JSNA dataset Department of Health – Links with PBC policy development nationally and regionally Project participants – Information about small-area data and associated methodologies used in their own JSNAs
