Reshaping Care for Older People
Community Capacity Building& Co-production
Community Capacity Building (CCB)
• Community capacity building is one of the twin pillars of community development, the other pillar being community engagement. Community capacity building involves activities, resources and support that strengthen the skills, abilities and confidence of people and community groups to take effective action and leading roles in the development of communities.
Adapted from Scottish Community Development Centre
Coproduction (CP)
• “Delivering public services in an equal and reciprocal relationship between professionals, people using services, their families and their neighbours. Where activities are co-produced in this way, both services and neighbourhoods become far more effective agents of change.”
National Endowment for Science, Technology & the Arts (NESTA)& New Economics Foundation (NEF)
Reshaping Care for Older People ‘Change Fund’
• £70 million 2011/2012– expected circa £300 million over 4 years• Bridging finance to lever improvement across the entirety of older
people’s spend in health and social care across 32 health and social care partnerships
• Partnership planning process – Health, Local Government and now Third and Independent sectors too
• A Programme for Change – 10 year Delivery Plan www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Health/care/reshaping/programmeforchange
• Delivery Plan Volume 2 – funding and demographic projections for future years, Autumn 2011
• 2011/12 development of Joint Commissioning Strategies (to 2020)
Existing example: SHINE in Fife• “The project will intentionally design a micro-market for highly tailored care
packages for frail and vulnerable older people in their communities provided by independent micro-enterprises. It will provide “proof of concept” to convince staff that radically different models of community care can work.”
Existing example: Perth & Kinross Healthy Communities Collaborative
• “The Healthy Communities Collaborative is such a good idea. A small number of professionals working in
partnership with unlimited numbers of volunteers, so that older people can stay fitter and healthier for longer,
has to be good”
