How can you and your "Community" Aid In Helping the Disadvantaged?
The document discusses how supporting programs that equip the homeless with life skills, such as job training and social support, can help prevent returns to homelessness. It notes that while donations and temporary housing help meet basic needs, teaching skills for independent living can provide "a quality of life" and stability. Quotes from Matt Keating emphasize that funding should prioritize such programs over just providing short-term shelter.
Letter from the engaging communities staffordshire strategic group
The Engaging Communities project was created to ensure that community members have a role in how health and social services are established and delivered. The project aims to find effective ways for people to provide input on the services that meet their needs in a cost-effective manner. It also seeks to reduce duplicate questions and enable better decision-making using people's experiences. The project will help coordinate how organizations obtain community feedback as the Local Healthwatch replaces Local Involvement Networks. Successful development of the project requires engaging with many local residents to establish an organization that best meets their needs.
The Public Services Management and Quality
In 1960, expectations in England's education system were low. In 1979, the Conservative government was elected and began implementing New Public Management reforms in 1997. However, by 2006 the NPM reforms began to collapse. In response, the 2007 government prioritized strengthening communities and co-producing public services through cross-departmental integration and feedback from the public. Critics note difficulties coordinating autonomous authorities, managing finances, designing policy, and resistance to change while recommendations include further formalizing cross-sector collaboration and accountability.
What Big Society means for us
The document discusses the concept of the "Big Society" proposed by the UK government. It provides perspectives from a local council chief executive and government leaders on what the Big Society means. It also outlines some of the government's policies and progress in encouraging social action, volunteering, and community empowerment through initiatives like the Big Society Bank and transferring power from central to local authorities. Examples are given of how a thriving voluntary sector can benefit communities.
Community Capacity: Connecting with Communities - Alicia Wood
The document discusses how to better connect people with learning disabilities to their local communities through housing. It suggests (1) focusing on ordinary housing near families and support networks to rely less on paid support, and (2) commissioning housing that incentivizes natural community supports and improves social networks. The document also lists outcomes people with learning disabilities want from community living and a planning tool to help organizations ensure people can participate in their communities.

The bill introduces a prevention and early intervention focus, with duties on local authorities to provide services that enhance community well-being.

It seeks to deflect people from acute services and invest in communities to support individuals' well-being.
Helen Milner Birmingham Digital 20 October 2010
This document summarizes the social and economic case for increasing digital inclusion in the UK. It notes that while 30.1 million UK adults use the internet daily, 9.1 million have never used it, and those with lower incomes and education are less likely to be online. There are also regional divides. The document outlines social benefits of internet use like increased confidence, happiness, and feeling more connected. Economically, internet skills can lead to 3-10% higher salaries. Getting more people online could save the government £900 million per year through increased use of online public services. Mass campaigns combined with targeted local support through UK online centers can help bring more vulnerable groups online.

Gloucestershire Young Carers brief
Gloucestershire Young Carers offers support to young carers aged 8 to 25 by creating a network of support across the county and ensuring service providers understand and address their needs. Many young carers are isolated and unable to enjoy opportunities or speak to others about their experiences as caregivers. GYC aims to provide local activity groups and transportation to give young carers a break from caring and opportunities for fun.

ND11: digital by default & social housing helen milner 12 may2011
The document discusses moving social housing providers to delivering services digitally by default. It notes that currently 70% of social housing tenants are not online, including many elderly people and those with lower incomes or education. The document suggests that with help and access, around 30% of offline tenants could start using online services, while 10% may still need alternative options. It argues that a digital approach could save money while improving services, if offline tenants are assisted to get online and advocacy is provided for the benefits of digital services.

Co production factsheet 6
Co-production involves citizens and professionals sharing power and working together as equal partners to create support opportunities and drive social change. It acknowledges that people are experts in their own lives and enabling community support builds resilience. Co-production shifts the focus from fitting people into existing services to empowering them to achieve their own goals. A new Wales Co-production Network is proposed to help establish co-production as the norm for public services and drive the necessary cultural shift through collaboration between organizations.

2) The document provides examples of how social investment has been used to support homelessness services, dementia care, and community organizations. It also outlines some common social investment models like social impact bonds.

Localis Total Neighbourhood
This document outlines a framework called "Total Neighbourhood" that aims to devolve power over public services to local communities. It argues that community groups in Birmingham have achieved better outcomes at lower costs than the public sector through place-based budgeting and early intervention programs. The report recommends simplifying funding streams, increasing support for community-led initiatives through tools like Local Outcome Bonds, and developing "Total Neighbourhood" budgets that give communities control over local spending. The goal is to replicate Birmingham's successes nationwide by empowering communities and taking a long-term, preventative approach to public services.

BAWKU PRESENTATIOM-THE ROLE OF CITIZENS IN LOCAL GOVERNANCE-2
Citizens play an important role in promoting social accountability of government. Social accountability involves citizens actively participating in development decisions that affect them and demanding effective, efficient and equitable public service delivery using mechanisms like social audits and citizen scorecards. Citizens have the right to be informed, organize, and participate in decisions. Challenges local governments face include low capacity and weak resources. Citizens and civil society organizations can work to promote social accountability by building coalitions, collecting information, identifying issues, and advocating for productive change with government. Their role is important to achieve good governance and prioritize community development projects.
social-media-report-2015-final
The document discusses a 2015 survey of social media usage in UK local government. Some key findings include:
- Councils are more committed to social media and see it as essential for innovation and efficiency. Senior leadership buy-in influences social media use.
- Councils associate financial savings with social media use, though few can quantify savings.
- Councils' social media presence focuses on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr. Other platforms like Instagram and Streetlife show potential.
- The survey profiles the top 20 social media leaders in local government to showcase best practices for others to learn from.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real life
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

It: Gives public services access to new expertise and knowledge Enables broader and better targeted support 41 2 3 5 6 This Government has set out its vision for a Bigger and Stronger Society, where everyone has the chance to contribute to their community, and where those communities are self-confident and civically engaged. As part of this, there is significant potential to harness more effectively the skill and passion of citizens, communities and businesses to help tackle long-standing challenges this country faces. That’s why we are: Accelerating the development of projects that complement public services through the Centre for Social Action.
