Hampshire Strategic Partnership LAA Event 12th October Feedback
Over 130 partners attended the event on the 12th October which was held at the Winchester Guildhall. The day gave partners an opportunity to hear the development of the Hampshire LAA from when the LAA was announced late June 2005 to the work over the summer, including the results from the consultation on the draft LAA document. This was presented by Andrew Lloyd, Chief Executive from Rushmoor Borough Council on behalf of the LAA Executive. (Please go to (link) to view the presentation. This was followed by a presentation from Cathy Evans from GOSE on what the government will be expecting to see in the LAA document. (Please go to (link) to view this presentation.
The main part of the day was for stakeholders to take part in workshops on the nine priority areas for action, which were facilitated by the nine leads who in partnership, had worked up some proposals under these priority areas.
Partners were asked in the workshops to consider the following questions:
(1) Can these proposals fit with the new proposed framework: of:
young people
vulnerable older people
infrastructure and conditions for a prosperous and sustainable Hampshire
(2) In order to deliver these proposals, what are the barriers and how can these be overcome?
Workshop Headline feedback
Workshop A: Supporting educational achievement – Felicity Roe
Better Parenting was seen as an action that a lot of partners could contribute towards delivering on
Joint training- core skills for working with children and young people
Information on services needs to be more available
Make more use of the voluntary sector
Tapping into funding streams
Workshop B: Support for Business – John Gregory
The two groups decided on 4 areas of action to take forward
To encourage unemployed disadvantaged people (age, health problems) back to work and to encourage businesses to employ these groups
Support for the rural economy
Increase skills
Enterprise innovation and start up
Workshop C: Positive activities for young people – Stuart Nundy
Support for action area, but maybe as a cross cutting area as opposed to on its own
Focus on improving choice and diversity
Involvement of the voluntary sector
Workshop D: Co-ordination of transport and access – Iain Reeve
There was agreement with this priority and the suggested pilots
Not just transport issue but access and should be cross cutting
Needs to be action oriented
Involvement of the voluntary sector
Look at cross boundary issues
Look at sustainability as well
Workshop E: Access to housing and accommodation – Tony Hall
Reduced the actions down to 5- increase supply of land for housing, bringing empty homes back into use, older persons housing stock, increase provision of housing for vulnerable adults, to ensure private sector dwellings are well maintained
Need clearer links to PUSH and the RES
3 areas for focus miss out vulnerable adults
Workshop F: Crime, Ant-social behaviour, drug and alcohol misuse – Simon Cole/ Matthew Greening
The 3 new areas for focus are not helpful in terms of the process
Infrastructure should also include building the capacity in the community
How does LPSA2 fit in
How do we deliver locally and across the county
Drugs and alcohol issues fit well in this priority
Huge responsibility on the delivery group of the LAA
Should be based on need- who will define need
Workshop G: Health and well-being – Liz Steel
The 3 new areas for focus are not helpful for this priority- misses out adults
Proposed 3 areas for action under this priority- healthy lifestyles, children and young people, older and vulnerable people- these 3 areas build on the LPSA2 work
Sexual and Domestic Violence was raised as an issue to be included
