PPAARRTTNNEERRSSHHIIPP CCOOMMMMIISSSSIIOONNIINNGG SSTTRRAATTEEGGYY Presented to: Joint Committee/Strategic Management Group Author: Norman Firth Date of Document: September 2011 Date of Revision: July 2013 Document Version: 4.0 1 Version 4.0: Revised July 2013 1. Introduction In “The Guide to Strategic Commissioning” (2009), the Social Work Inspection Agency (SWIA) defines this activity as: “the term used for all the activities involved in assessing and forecasting needs, agreeing desired outcomes, considering options, planning the nature, range and quality of future services and working in partnership to put these in place.” Implicit in this and other definitions is an activity which is cyclical and therefore dynamic. SWIA illustrates this via reference to a model developed by the Institute of Public Care (IPC). “The model is based upon four key performance management elements; analyse, plan, do and review. The model requires that each of the four elements receive attention, and all are kept in balance” (SWIA: 2009 from Joint Commissioning Model for Public Care: IPC: 2006). The overarching context for Criminal Justice Social Work (CJSW) is a framework of statutory duties within a public policy context focusing on reduction of offending and public protection against a background in which the service requires to improve effectiveness and reduce costs. 2. Focus This Commissioning Strategy relates to Criminal Justice Social Work Services. CJSW services principal duties and tasks relate to the assessment and supervision of offenders in the community either through the medium of community sentences or post release supervision following a custodial sentence. The Strategy refers to CJSW services and functions organised and delivered via formal partnership between Argyll and Bute, West Dunbartonshire and East Dunbartonshire Councils; referred to below as the Partnership (see below, Governance). -

CONSULTATION QUESTIONS NUTS boundaries are used for reporting of regional statistics to Eurostat and those statistics are used to inform regional policy. The Scottish Government is proposing to make minimal changes beyond aligning existing NUTS boundaries to Local Authority Boundaries. Do you have any comments on the Scottish Governments proposals for NUTS 2 regions? We agree that the NUTS 2 area boundaries should be contiguous to the boundaries of the relevant Local Authorities. We agree therefore that the Highlands and Islands NUTS 2 areas should be expanded to include all of Argyll and Bute within a single unit. The Isle of Arran and the Cumbraes should move into South Western NUTS 2 area so that they are included in the same region as the Mainland part of North Ayrshire administrative area. Do you have any comments on the Scottish Governments proposals for NUTS 3 regions? We agree that NUTS 3 area boundaries should be contiguous with the boundaries of the relevant Local Authorities. We agree therefore that the boundaries of East, Dunbartonshire, West Dunbartonshire and Helensburgh and Lomond should become East and West Dunbartonshire reflecting the local Authority Boundary of the same names. East and North Ayrshire NUTS areas should become East and North Ayrshire, containing both the mainland and island parts of the East Ayrshire and North Ayrshire Local Authorities. And that 3 new NUTS areas; Highlands, Moray and Argyll and Bute will align themselves to the Local Authority areas of the same name, replacing Caithness and Sutherland, Ross and Cromarty, Inverness and Nairn, Moray and Badenoch and Strathspey and Lochaber, Skye and Lochalsh, Arran & Cumbrae Eurostat have requested we consider merging the Highlands & Islands with North Eastern Scotland to create a new area that’s closer to the recommended population thresholds. -
