Working together
An increasing proportion of services are now delivered jointly, with more than one organisation working together. This way we can achieve much more than we could as individual organisations working in isolation.
Community Planning is the name that has been given to this process.
What is Community Planning?
Community Planning is about public, private and voluntary sector organisations coming together to plan and provide for the wellbeing of the communities that they serve. It's about delivering better services by working together and sharing resources for the greater benefit of the community. It is also about ensuring that people are able to influence the decisions of the organisations that serve them.
The ultimate aim of Community Planning is to make Perth and Kinross a better place to live, work and visit for everyone in all of our communities. By working together to improve our health, safety, environment, economic prospects and learning opportunities, we can achieve so much more than we could by working in isolation. And we're also far more likely to deliver the improvements in service that people in Perth and Kinross really want to see.
The Community Plan 2006-2020
The Community Plan sets out the Community Planning Partnership's shared vision for Perth and Kinross, and how we will work together to turn that vision into reality.
Single Outcome Agreement 2009-2011
The Single Outcome Agreement for Perth and Kinross identifies the improved outcomes for service users and communities that the Community Planning Partnership aims to achieve. The first Perth and Kinross Single Outcome Agreement [pdf - 1716kb] was approved in June 2008, this set out the key priorities and targets that the Community Planning Partnership is committed to achieving and reflects the commitments made in the Perth and Kinross Community Plan (2006 - 2020). An Annual Performance Report [ pdf - 352kb] on this first Single Outcome Agreement has been produced; this report highlights the improvements the Community Planning Partnership has achieved and sets out how we plan to improve further.
The second Perth and Kinross Single Outcome Agreement for 2009-2011 [pdf - 557kb] was signed by the Community Planning Partnership and Scottish Government on 29 July 2009. A six monthly report [pdf - 112kb] reviewing the performance for the period 1 April ? 30 September 2009 was discussed by the Perth & Kinross Community Planning Partnership on the 13 November 2009. The report was also discussed at Strategic Policy and Resources Committee and Scrutiny Committee of Perth and Kinross Council on the 2 December 2009.
