Dear Neighbourhood Partnership Member,
Services for Communities: Further Training for Neighbourhood Partnership Members
Following on from the Induction Event, there are three initial training courses planned to support Neighbourhood Partnerships. These are:
Standards for Community Engagement,
Understanding and Using Area Profiles and
Equalities.
Here are the details for the first two of these. There are six dates for each course (see overleaf), including options to attend in the morning, afternoon or early evening. All of the events are being run at central training venues following feedback from the Induction Events.
Standards for Community Engagement
The Standards for Community Engagement training covers the key principles and information that all Neighbourhood Partnership members need to be aware of. Some members may already have received an overview of the standards and there is an option to avoid repeating this content by arriving 40 minutes later (these later times are also shown on the attached booking form). It can also though be seen as an opportunity for a refresher which might be useful, as understanding the content that follows requires attendees to have this foundation knowledge. The rest of the session will be very practical and focus on how the standards can be used to help Neighbourhood Partnerships become more effective in their role and operations.
Understanding and Using Area Profiles
You should by now have received Area Profiles covering your Neighbourhood Partnership area (if not, please contact Eileen Hewitt on 0131 469 3838). The Understanding and Using Area Profiles training course is delivered by Council and Scottish Executive staff. The course will explain the Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics and the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation information that is included in the Area Profiles and how this information can be understood and used. There is also a session on
Communities that Care research and this will be delivered by Neighbourhood Managers from Children & Families Department. The course is designed for people who have no statistical or research background or expertise.
Equalities
Some NP members will be involved in conducting equalities impact assessments for the work of their Neighbourhood Partnership and training support will be provided for this. Other equalities training may also be offered based on the feedback from the Induction Events and NP members via their Neighbourhood Manager. Details of further equalities training will be communicated later in the year.
