PLACE GUIDE: A PROCESS FOR IMPROVED PLACE-BASED DECISION MAKING SCOTTISH FUTURES TRUST

Understanding the Place approach


Process 3 Determining Place Suggested actions resources & governance


How should decisions be made about the Place, and who does the work?


Place Framework: Place Oversight


• Set out clear responsibilities for partners (incl benchmarks) on Place-based collaboration for partners


• Draft outline approach – a governance & operational framework that partners, stakeholders and funders can endorse. This should consider:


– key individuals, organisations, services – community representation and wider engagement; – role of private sector and third sector – evaluating impact


– reporting links to community stakeholders (consider skills & training requirements)


• Identify staff resources available to develop the Place-based approach, noting existing activity:


– Identify what capacity is available


– Assess where capacity best sits for sustainable delivery (e.g. perhaps via an independent anchor organisation)


– Determine how best to align resources even internally


• Establish/agree where outputs from Place-based approach will sit/report to


• Consider longer-term, subsequent delivery arrangements i.e. building anchor collaborations to drive local Place change. Align with Area Partnerships and locality planning agendas now


• Prepare summary papers for relevant organisation leadership teams and cross-agency bodies on collaborative benefit – explicitly to seek agreement to proceed, agreement to prioritisation
