Place-Based Program of Change
The Place-Based Program of Change is the focus of this Delivery Plan.
All partners recognise:
- Better solutions and better outcomes are achieved if communities are involved; and
- Collaboration is the only way to tackle wicked long standing issues.
A Program Initiation Document (PID), for a Program of work has been agreed by the Shetland Partnership Management & Leadership Team, signed off by Senior Managers of statutory partner organisations, as part of the approval process for this Delivery Plan.
In summary:
- Change in approach to day-to-day working: build trusting relationships across services and between services & communities
- Through activity such as the Participation Hub, learning and insight webpages, training and leadership
- Project work and Service-Redesign: Islands with Small Populations / Recreate Scalloway / Nort Natters
- Through activity such as Locality Profiles, Participation Hub, Discussions within 7 localities and follow-up, How to Guide to place-based working, Place-Standard Tool
- Capital Projects: School Estate, NHS Programme Initial Agreement, Options for Inter-Island Transport Connectivity, new Housing Developments
- Through activity such as Mapping Project Portfolio, Prioritisation Matrix, Locality Profiles, Participation Hub, How to Guide to place-based working, Place-Standard Tool
The main resource for this is for staff across organisations to spend time building relationships with communities, in order to work together to improve outcomes for the people living in those communities. There is additional investment through the Council’s allocation of the Shared Prosperity Fund.
This approach will facilitate delivery for the other programs and projects set out in this Delivery Plan.
