Community Solutions Governance
Community Solutions is governed through a “triple-lock” approach and supported and managed at both locality and North Lanarkshire wide levels.
Locality Governance
Six local community and voluntary sector (CVS) organisations receive funding to act as “Locality Hosts” for the Community Solutions Programme in their area and convene locality Community Solutions Locality Consortia meetings involving CVS funded organisations; Health and Social Care North Lanarkshire (HSCNL) locality and Voluntary Action North Lanarkshire (VANL) staff. These consortia review local needs and priorities, agree a Locality Development Plan and manage a Local Activity Fund for their area.
The six locality host organisations also meet regularly with key VANL staff to share information and discuss key issues to inform locality and NL-wide developments.
Community Solutions Governance Group
VANL convenes and supports a Community Solutions Governance Subgroup, which meets at least quarterly with representatives from HSCNL, VANL and the CVS to support strategic planning, review, improvements and reporting.
See below for organisational representation and current members of the group.
Health and Social Care North Lanarkshire
HSCNL’s senior management and its Integrated Joint Board (IJB) agree the programme’s strategy and funding and review progress reports.
