East Dunbartonshire
Community Engagement Event 28th August 2015
Sandra Cairney
Head of Planning & Health Improvement
Ed Community Health Partnership

2. Background
Third sector providers have been important in the delivery of social care services for some time
This role is changing as the personalisation agenda takes hold and there is a push for closer integration between health and social care services within a context of constrained financial resources

3. Scottish Context
The Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act places a statutory responsibility upon Health Boards, local authorities and Integration Authorities to actively involve the third sector in the planning and design of integrated health and social care services.

4. What is the 3rd Sector?
The third sector is large and diverse and ranges from service providers to communities of interest or place, volunteer led organisations, service user focussed groups, social enterprises and others
Relatively untapped resource of knowledge and expertise and capacity
Delivering a range of different types of functions (public service provision, self-funded services, campaigning, advocacy and more)

5. Expectations
Integrated Joint Boards are expected to develop robust mechanisms for information sharing, engagement and influencing on behalf of the sector.
Third Sector Interfaces (TSIs) should act as the conduit for the third sector in relation to the responsibilities of Health Boards, local authorities and Integration Authorities set out in the Act.
TSIs can co-ordinate expertise to come to different tables from within the third sector itself, ensuring diverse voices are heard.
