Shetland Partnership Annual Report 2022/23

The Shetland Partnership is the Community Planning Partnership for Shetland. Community planning is about how public bodies work together, and with local communities, to design and deliver better services that make a real difference to people’s lives. The Partnership is made up of a wide range of public agency partners, and community and third sector bodies, who work together to deliver our collective ambitions for the future.

This is our Annual Report for 2022/23. It provides an overview of what we have achieved this year, an update on long-term outcome measures and information about community involvement in community planning. The purpose of the report is to share information with communities and partner agencies. The aim is to help everyone understand what we have been up to as a Community Planning Partnership in 2022/23.

Our Duties

Our Duty	Achieved?	Progress Report
Prepare a Local Outcomes Improvement Plan (LOIP)	Yes	The Shetland Partnership Plan outlining the agreed long term vision and priorities for Shetland was published in 2018. The plan was initially supported by a delivery plan published in 2019. Since the conclusion of our first Delivery Plan a decision was made to move away from the model of three yearly plans, moving instead to publishing a rolling Delivery Plan on the Shetland Partnership Website. The partnership continues to meet monthly to discuss and review priorities.
Carry Out Locality Planning	Yes	In 2020 the Shetland Partnership produced its first Locality Plan, the Islands with Small Populations Locality Plan. Work in the name of the plan continues, with community representatives from the isles meeting quarterly with service providers to discuss progress on the plan and matters affecting the islands.
Review and report publicly on progress with the LOIP and Locality Plans	Yes	We are accountable to the Shetland Community for the work we do as a Community Planning Partnership and whether or not we are making a difference to the people of Shetland. This report is an important tool for helping people understand what we do, what we have achieved and whether we are fulfilling our statutory duties. In this report you can find details of the work that has been carried out in 2022/23 as well as a data update, which describes how the outcome indicators included in Shetland’s Partnership Plan have changed since the Plan was agreed.

We've split our Annual Report into different sections, covering; Data Updates and Analysis; Activity Updates and Case Studies; updates on our Locality Plan (Shetland's Islands with Small Populations Locality Plan).
