  1. Our Focus: The un - met challenge of Neighbourhood Renewal “Harnessing the hundreds of billions of pounds spent by key Government departments, rather than relying on one-off regeneration spending”. National Strategy for Neighbourhood Renewal 2001

  2. Spotlight – toward a system to deliver transformation and Connecting People • 4 underlying assumptions • Scale • Integration • Whole systems of delivery • Community connections

  3. Scale – whatever we do that works, we need to do a lot of it!

  4. Integration is critical to success Economic development Barriers to employers/ investors High worklessness and income poverty Barriers to work for individuals Negative peer culture, low social capital Unpopular neighbourhood in disrepair Social capital Strain on liveability Concentrations of vulnerable residents ‘Liveability’ Source: PMSU/NRU Deprived Areas Review 2004

  5. Whole systems - shaping cohesive, customer focused delivery UNIVERSAL SERVICES Job Centre Plus LOCALITY PROVISION ‘Jobshops’ Local engagement and integrated services: ‘WRAP AROUND’ Health & Social Care Criminal justiceHousing Third Sector

  6. Community connections are the best way in…

  7. We need a system to deliver scale, integration and community connections… • Partnerships feel like an add on to the ‘day job’? • Public services incentivised by national concerns? • Performance measured at city level on many issues? • Inflexible ‘one size fits all’ delivery arrangements? • Third sector on the fringes? • Deprivation as ‘special operations’?

  8. We have tested the model

  9. We have found common problems across issues Understanding need Planning & deciding - Weak local data - Weak analytical capacity - Engagement not influencing delivery enough - Plans not locally specific - Local governance not connected to LSP - Barriers to entry THE CUSTOMER JOURNEY Reviewing Delivering - Patchy evaluation - Weak mainstreaming practice - Fragmentation - Weak cross referral - Lack of incentives to meet local standards - Weak collective action - Instability

  10. Results: The system is changing - ‘Mainstreaming for Real’ Diversification and choice Worklessness delivery system opened up to 32 ‘new’ providers - Community & Voluntary Sector - Health, Housing Agencies Innovation, Personalisation GP’s incentivised to refer IB patients to employability advisors. Family approach on worklessness Direct payments and personalised budgets in skills and worklessness?

  11. Results: The system is changing - ‘Mainstreaming for Real’ Community Engagement & Accountability Dashboard’ of local safe, clean and green indicators, regular reporting to communities ‘Communities on board’ - social marketing Intensive management arrangements for regeneration areas, aligning incentives between agencies Pace and Urgency Spotlight has given our Partnership go faster and go further stripes!

  12. What’s next? • Driving delivery – making this mainstream work • Evaluation, further ‘real - time’ tests • Make Area Based Grant a new dawn – driving innovation, integration and change in public services • Learn more from the Health and Social Care integration and commissioning journey • Test the Local Area Agreement with real evidence • Hold our nerve - see where momentum can take us!
