A SIP is the defining statement of strategic planning intent for the local authority area. It contains the LSB’s vision for improving the city over the next three years. The SIP identifies key priorities that, as an LSB, we will work towards achieving over the next few years. These priorities have been identified as those where the LSB and other key stakeholders must work together to achieve success. The SIP replaces the following plans and strategies: Community Strategy Health, Social Care and Wellbeing Strategy Children and Young People’s Plan Community Safety Plan Prosperous Newport Plan The Welsh Government has challenged all local authority areas in Wales to develop a Single Integrated Plan (SIP) and rationalise partnerships by 1 April 2013. The statutory guidance ‘Shared Purpose – Shared Delivery’ sets out the role of local government and their partners, through Local Service Boards (LSBs), in helping to improve service delivery by working together to plan, work, deliver and improve outcomes. The guidance is intended to integrate local service planning, streamline partnership working, and strengthen the strategic role and accountability of the local service board (LSB). In Newport, a review of partnership arrangements was undertaken in 2012 and a new structure is now in place. The guidance replaces existing statutory guidance deriving from a number of pieces of legislation (Community Strategy, Children and Young People’s Plan, Health Social Care and Wellbeing Strategy). Community Safety planning is non-devolved so the guidance is advisory only for Community Safety planning in Wales. The guidance states it is the role of the LSB to use its local needs analysis to determine which will be the highest priorities for local action. There is an expectation from the Welsh Government that a single integrated plan should be underpinned by a single needs assessment, but this should be viewed as part of a more innovative and thorough approach to evidence and analysis. In June 2010, One Newport LSB agreed to a new approach of developing the first Unified Needs Assessment (UNA) which was first published in November 2010 and used to inform the development of the core plans above. A revised version was published in May 2012 which included more detail and analysis in order to meet the statutory requirements of Community Safety planning. Undertaking only one needs assessment has allowed partners to share intelligence, reduce the cost of research and duplication of information, and assess the impact of initiatives over time by continuously monitoring the changing needs of the local population. The UNA has enabled partners to establish a clear set of priorities and will be used to inform the commissioning of services. This new approach supports the work of the single integrated plan and offers the potential to explore closer working relationships between partners. The key building blocks of the Single Plan include a robust evidence base from which to determine the greatest priorities for action at a local level. This UNA provides a more robust approach to analysing the available evidence in order to support an outcomes based approach and identifying priorities for shared action and improvement. This UNA will inform a core set of shared priorities and a common set of outcomes for Newport and its residents. This UNA has enabled partners to pool information and expertise in order to develop a public service ‘intelligence’ function at a local level. Work will continue in Newport to develop a local information system to support this UNA. 5 The UNA is revised on an ongoing basis throughout the year to review existing data, update information and analysis and monitor progress. This report is published on an annual basis, and sets out a summary of the issues facing the local population of Newport and presents public opinion, background information and baseline data which can be used to determine the priorities for the LSB and the Single Plan. The Issue for Newport The Single Integrated Plan (SIP) is designed to reflect local and regional outcomes, and focus on meeting the needs of those residents most in need and those neighbourhoods that are most deprived. Neighbourhood working will put people at the centre of public services and the community. Tackling issues that can make a real difference to people’s lives in the long term is key to the success of this strategy. Sustainable development is the overarching policy framework which integrates social, economic and environmental actions to achieve a common vision for Newport. It involves ensuring that all actions are economically, socially and environmentally sustainable and so contribute to overall community wellbeing, now and in the future. Local Profiles The LSB has agreed to develop a neighbourhood working approach to delivering services at a local level.
