Understanding Place Sample Clauses

Understanding Place. A better understanding of local needs and circumstances based on robust data and information will allow us to reshape and target our services where they are most needed and will allow us to predict and prevent problems and evidence the impact of our interventions. We are one of the few CPPs that have a CPP Analyst, who takes the lead in collating and analysing data from across the partnership. The SOA was informed by the 2012 CPP Strategic Assessment, a robust data gathering and analysis exercise to identify local priorities, which will be refreshed to inform an interim review of the SOA outcomes. Plans are also in place to review the data that is available and reported on at a local level and to make use of GIS to analyse multiple layers of data to identify ‘hotspot’ areas, which will allow more targeted interventions where they are most needed. The placemaking activity outlined below will also allow a better understanding of place and better use of resources locally. The Resource Aligning Group (RAG) involves partners from across the CPP and aims to improve the partnership's capacity to target and align resources for better impact. Prior to publication of the CPP audit report, the RAG had agreed a number of areas for development to support information sharing and aligning of resources. Actions assigned to the RAG in the CPP Development Plan will be incorporated into the existing RAG Action Plan following discussion at the CPP Conference in August 2015, to give a revised plan moving forward. Quarterly RAG meetings have been set up and regular RAG updates have been added to the CPP Workplan to strengthen the relationship between the RAG and the Board.
