Background:
|
The JIP in Yorkshire and Humber was formed in early 2007, and over a period of six months developed the “People Matter” strategy. This has a number of key objectives aimed at allowing people to live their own lives as they choose using services which are high quality, safe and promote independence, well-being and dignity.
The central planks of the ‘People Matter’ strategy are Personalisation, Commissioning, Improving Performance and Efficiency.
This project is within the scope of the regional programme for Personalisation for the Yorkshire & Humberside which was originally developed by the In Control’s Regional Forum. The overall regional programme for personalisation provides a framework for responding to all the four quadrants of personalisation and offers a framework of distinct work-streams by which to drive forward commissioning and personalisation across the region.

Delivery:
|
Aims of the project are:
1. Share learning from existing good practice in relation to community capacity building across the region
2. Develop a learning network that will be sustained after the project is completed.
|
|
Outcomes:
|
1 Greater impact across the region in development work and investment to develop and grow innovation and the third sector, examples could be:
2 An established regional learning network for community capacity building
Success of this project will look like:
All councils and partners within the region will have benefited from shared learning and be more able to put this best practice into effect. Success indicators will be different for each local authority. Councils will be encouraged to lead on an area of strength for them in the project and they will in turn benefit in those areas where they have less expertise.
A web based regional network will be put in place to provide mutual learning and support for community capacity building
