1. A pilot project focused on the needs of people living and/ or interested in the ward of Norbiton. A ‘Local Integrated Service’. A new way of working to pool budgets and resources across different organisations An opportunity for the Norbiton community to take more control over resources in their area Bottom up, with community led priorities driving work forward National Context -Localism Bill, devolution of power and “community led commissioning”. A proposal was put in to Cabinet Office in August 2010. Concern over deprivation and child poverty in Norbiton. LIS seen as a good opportunity to make a difference and tackle inequalities in partnership It’s now embedded as part of the ‘One Kingston’ programme What is One Norbiton Working Together?

2. According to Cabinet Office, Kingston’s Local Integrated Service approach is unique, compared with other LIS areas. It has no pre-existing agenda and therefore is supporting the community to drive the agenda forward. Its different to anything we have done before, because we have partners around the table seeking to address the needs of the most vulnerable by working with an entire ward How is it different?

6. Prioritisation Exercise Time and resources were limited (6 weeks to prioritise main areas to work on) no funding or other resource available to carry out what would need approx £30k and 18 months to do full and robust Community Research Therefore, 9 reports from already established research and consultation pieces carried out in and around Norbiton were used to identify themes for the community to then prioritise 11 themes were identified and placed into honeycomb chart (below). Prioritisation exercise was then designed to identify top areas from the already established researched themes.

7. Prioritisation Exercise What else? Your ideas What else? Your solutions

11. Our shared learning. Community Working Group’s feedback on carrying out the prioritisation exercise Pros “That it was conducted by residents and community members” “It created a new group of people interested in Norbiton and its future” “Involving ordinary people/consumers of public services in a structured but simple way” “The public were not required to give their name and address. They were under no pressure to respond immediately” Cons “The need perhaps for a more scientific sampling and validation of themes being taken forward”. “It focused minds on a limited number of issues” “That only 1% contributed. No age; sex; ethnicity gathered. “Unsure whether a representative sample was consulted” “The lack of range/choice not allowing people to pick their own topic. Lack of individual data” Conclusion The Community Working Group wish to work on the priorities identified so far whilst they form as an independent group with a formal Terms of Reference and governance structure. However, they also wish to carry out further more in depth and robust research into the needs of Norbiton community members to continue to inform their decision making processes.

12. Resources allocated so far Community’s voluntary time Professional’s Working Group member’s time Turning Point’s consultation exercise (£14k) Equalities and Community Engagement Team time Neighbourhood Management time Kingston University (NHS funded £2k and Kingston University Innovation voucher £2k)

In summary, benefits so far Improved partnership working Better informed about community priorities (from previous research and prioritisation exercise) ‘Community Voice’ of Norbiton has started to develop Engaged community in carrying out research Community designed, developed and own their online research tool and community ‘One Norbiton Working Together’ website

14. Next steps Share the community priorities with our partners Priorities will be analysed and confirmed by Community Working Group and officers facilitating this work Project Sponsor David Smith will be back to Kingston Strategic Partnership to discuss priority results and resources (on 10 th October) Community wish us to investigate how we may carry out full robust community research in the Norbiton area, including targeting most vulnerable for more qualitative in depth research on prioritise If existing resources cannot be identified, Cabinet Office will be asked to support work with additional support i.e. independent accountant who may scrutinise budgets and help with Neighbourhood Budget bid.
