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 first Perth and Kinross Single Outcome Agreement was approved in June 2008, this set out the key outcomes and targets that the Community Planning Partnership is committed to achieving. It reflects the commitments made in the Perth and Kinross Community Plan (2006 - 2020). This document was updated and the Perth and Kinross Single Outcome Agreement for 2009-2011 was approved by the Community Planning Partnership on 8 May 2009.
