  3. Local Area Coordinators Defined geographical area Conversation & joint work focused on a good life Build on the assets and contribution of people and the community Whole person, whole family Voluntary relationship – introductions not referrals Not time limited but avoids dependency Connected to cross system and community leadership

  4. Who do they support? Local Area Coordinators support: • People not yet known to services to help build resilience and remain part of their community (staying strong – avoiding need for services) • People at risk of becoming dependent on services to remain strong in their own community diverting the need for more expensive “formal service” responses. (reduce demand) • People already dependent on services to become less so and more resilient in their own community.

Keys to Success – what we are learning Importance of…….. “continuity, connections, mutual support, invest in learning, training – a community of practice” Strong design and strong connected leadership. The “slow fix” delivers quicker more sustainable outcomes. Staying true to Local Area Coordination throughout – resist the pull!! No diluting, cherry picking bits. Expect and welcome the challenges to ways of working/thinking. Inclusion, contribution, leadership, accountability Recruiting the right people, pay the right money.
