Statement of Community Involvement Sample Clauses

Statement of Community Involvement. Xxxxxx has a long tradition of working in partnership. The potential for the Voluntary and Community sector (VCS) to assist in ensuring that residents and service users are given a voice in the strategic planning, design and delivery of services to their communities, has been recognised in a variety of ways, such as the adoption of user and carer engagement strategies, resident and community group involvement in regeneration, parent and carer involvement in the development and management of Sure Start and the involvement of Children and Young People through Children’s Fund Voices Project. The mission for Xxxxxx’x Voluntary and Community sector is to improve the quality of life for all our residents particularly those who are marginalised or experience disadvantage. To this end the Sector seeks to ensure that services are offered in accessible and culturally sensitive ways that reflect the needs of our diverse communities and embrace the Sector’s values of equity and equality. The development of the LAA represents an opportunity to build on, embed and develop existing good practice around the key principles of: • Service delivery – the direct involvement of voluntary and community groups in delivering key services. • Governance – direct involvement in the decision-making processes affecting the LAA and related LSP business. • Social capital – engaging the VCS/wider community in building the social capital within the local area The LAA presents an opportunity to further develop The Sefton Compact ‘Working Better – Together’ to ensure that the exciting vision contained within it is driven through the operational levels of the partner organisations. INVOLVEMENT IN SETTING LAA PRIORITIES Process The existing partnership climate in Sefton is very positive, which is of significant value to developing a robust and holistic LAA. The priorities within the LAA build on those developed within the recently drafted Community Strategy, which was developed after the Partnership spent six months reviewing the priority outcomes and targets within it. This review was influenced by what we have been told by local residents through different consultation mechanisms and shared data available across partners. There is a range of existing avenues through which strategies and policies have been developed including regular surveys through the Sefton Citizen Panel, Public Meetings and targeted consultation aimed at either particular groups within the population or defined neighbourh...

Statement of Community Involvement. All partners are committed to ensuring that the engagement and participation of the voluntary and community sector (VCS) is fundamental to the success of the Local Area Agreement. This is both in terms of helping shape future service planning by bringing an understanding of the needs of particular client groups, and in terms of delivery through commissioning direct provision of services from the sector. The sector is involved at all levels in the structure, including the Lincolnshire Assembly Executive, the LAA Project Management Board, and the steering groups for the four blocks. In addition we have engaged with locally based voluntary and community groups through the district area Local Strategic Partnerships, and through stakeholder conferences and events. Following a number of meetings and briefing sessions the sector convened a conference on 6th December that aimed to develop a consensus approach to engaging with and contributing to the delivery of the LAA. The event was well attended and facilitated by a National Neighbourhood Renewal Adviser from GOEM. There was broad consensus on a number of key issues and commitment to developing an action plan to move the sector forward in relation to the LAA. A full report of the event is available on the Lincolnshire Assembly website. It is clear that:  The Lincolnshire Assembly continues to welcome and accept the VCS as full members. We also recognise that partners are seeking representation from the sector on the new Strategy Board and that we are working together on identifying the most appropriate way forward. We are doing this with the assistance of GOEM and a programme has been set for further consideration at the follow up event on the 26th January.  There is more to be done to support and train colleagues in the sector to enable effective participation and there is commitment from partners to support this type of activity. We appreciate the work of colleagues in the sector who have taken on the LAA development and are helping to share understanding and knowledge but recognise that more work on communication is required. This will be addressed through the LAA Year 1 action plan.  Lincolnshire values VCS member’s views and contributions in different partnerships including LSPs and Block Partnerships such as the Children and Young People’s Strategic Partnership and the Community Safety Partnerships locally. At the Block level there are best practice examples of engagement with the sector. For example: T...
