Editor's Notes
- You will see from this slide that the third sector in Scotland is big and varied with over 40,000+ organisations - made up of registered charities, social enterprises, community interest companies, credit unions and small voluntary community groups and clubs. Five years ago, the Carnegie UK Trust published The Rise of the Enabling State A review of over 180 policy sources, the report identified seven interconnected policy shifts evident across the UK. Together, these changes constitute a move from a traditional Welfare State to an Enabling State These shifts refer to the context which the Action Plan is seeking to influence and impact upon. Within Scotland, the public service reform agenda can still trace its influence back to the Christie Commission which set out that public services must be: Built around people and communities Joined-up from the perspective of people who use services Help people stay well and get support earlier when they need it Designed & delivered that focus on outcomes and positively impact on people’s lives and the communities they live in It was clear about the need for reform – stating that some 40% of public spending was on so called failure demand (spending to fix problems that could have been addressed earlier).
- The ALLIANCE is the national third sector intermediary for health and social care in Scotland. We have over 2,800 members - including large, national support providers as well as small, local volunteer-led groups and people who are disabled, living with long term conditions or providing unpaid care Many NHS Boards, Health and Social Care Partnerships and Primary/Community Care practices are associate members plus health and social care professionals are Professional Associates
- Some examples of our programmes and work streams include: Digital health and care; Links Worker Programme; ALISS; policy; SDS and social care; self management; health and social care integration; communications and events. Self management agenda in Scotland has been led by the ALLIANCE beginning with our involvement in writing the strategy back in 2008. The importance of involving people as equal contributors to the changing culture and model of designing and delivering services has emerged as a central theme through the Self Management agenda – people led movement that is shaping our understanding of what self management means and looks like in the support and services This continues to be central to the work of the ALLIANCE – including with the publication of Humans of Scotland which every public library is being sent a copy of.
