A new start for Community Development:
The Adur & Worthing Service Review 2009.
A draft framework:
1. Background.
2. Scope and timeline of the Review.
3. Membership of the Review Team
4. Purpose & aims:
-
To define Community Development using the new National Occupational Standards as a baseline guide.
-
To clearly identify broad based Adur & Worthing priorities and in particular the contribution the Council can make to meet those priorities. Do we need to be more specific about the priorities that relate to communities or assume that all their priorities should be to their citizens ?
-
To demonstrate the added value and key contribution of community development to implementing policies and hitting key areas in certain areas such as empowerment activity in Adur & Worthing.
-
In relation to CD, the Review needs to identify firstly the work being undertaken by CD practitioners: who is doing what and where and why; people, projects and activity. Secondly the Review needs to identify other local practitioners, groups and organisations who are undertaking activity which contributes to the overall aims of CD as described above. Finally the Review should identify links to other allied activity outside of the direct responsibility of Adur & Worthing.
-
To identify the differing historical, current and future needs and aspirations across the area.
-
Identify links to other policies and strategies.
-
To involve partners across the public, voluntary, community and private sectors in the whole review process.
5. Action Planning: There needs to be 2 Action Plans. Firstly a Plan for carrying out the Review and secondly an Action Plan to progress the Review itself including the identification of timescales, resources, local good practice and outcomes.
6. Process for evaluation and review.
I think that proposals should be developed at present separately for Adur and Worthing on how they wish to work with and develop communities. Community Development should then come under the aegis of each LSP, and community develpment should be used to facilitate both LSP’s overall effectiveness across econonomic, environmental, social and health spheres. The District and Borough would of course still hold budgets and employ some staff (others being contributed by the CVSs, PCT and other organisations) unless the LSPs in future became charitable companies. Local authority expenditure on community development would then also feature as support for LSPs and local partnership working, and would then genuinely add value across the board.
