  • West Dunbartonshire Council
    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).

  • Argyll & Bute Council and Nhs Highland Board Pathway to Integration Pdf
    ARGYLL & BUTE COUNCIL AND NHS HIGHLAND BOARD PATHWAY TO INTEGRATION 1. INTRODUCTION Argyll & Bute Council and NHS Highland Board have had preliminary discussions to initiate the development of a strategy for integration and this paper sets out an overarching framework of values and principles that, if agreed, would underpin the development of the strategy. Leaders of the Partnership : 1. Note the current reality of partnership working in Argyll & Bute. 2. Agree that significant further improvements in the experience and outcomes for services users and improvement in the efficiency and cost effectiveness of the service will not be achieved within these current arrangements. 3. Agree the values and principles that underpin service delivery. 4. Agree the values and principles of the partnership that guide the pathway and development of a strategy to integration. 5. Endorse the statement of intent. 6. Agree to remit to Officers of Argyll & Bute Council and NHS Highland (Argyll & Bute CHP) to develop a strategy for integration with the regular reporting of progress provided to Leaders of the partnership INTEGRATION Partnership working between Argyll & Bute Council and NHS Highland (Argyll & Bute CHP) has made considerable progress over recent years. This has produced significant outcomes for service users in the communities across Argyll and Bute. Joint leadership and governance arrangements have been in place for some time. However evidence of successful integration has been limited to teams where operational staff have effectively led the integration agenda, building on a history of joint working and with a clear focus on the benefits to service users of having a seamless service.

  • Respondent Information Form
    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.
