The Executive Group noted continued progress with the development of DIG
plans and implementation of actions. Acknowledgement was given to
emerging areas of relevance to DIGs such as Levelling Up, and National Care
Service proposals. It was agreed that making the synergies between the
Fourishing DIG Plan and Levelling Up be explored. It was also proposed that
with regards to the Care Service Review, information as this emerges will
need to be considered and that Laura Mason be Exec Group lead and CPWD
lead reporting on implications from Children’s Services perspective and Fiona
from an Adult Services perspective.
4.2 Communicating Community Planning
Discussion shaped a proposal of an e-bulletin, such as the one in Appendix A.
The audience and recipients of this are people within CPWD Management
Board organisations. The purpose is to build on the Roadshows that took
place in 2021 promoting Community Planning and partnership working in
West Dunbartonshire. It is proposed that information within the e-bulletin take
a thematic approach based on the three overarching themes, agreed in the
November 2021 CPWD Management Board meeting: Sustainability,
Wellbeing, Empowered.
5. People Implications
5.1 Actions developed to address the themes may require other partner
organisations to join DIG groups.
6. Financial Implications
6.1 The work of CPEG is focused on improving processes and approaches to
how partners work together. The creation of action may identify resource
needs to implement these.
7. Risk Analysis
7.1 Failure to respond to challenges would risk delivery against policy priorities.
8. Equalities Impact Assessment (EIA)
8.1 No actions are required as this is an update report.
9. Consultation
9.1 This report provides an update on ongoing activity.
