STATEMENT OF COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Voluntary and Community Sector Statement of Involvement
All partners to the Cambridgeshire LAA support the need and value for full Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) engagement, participation and involvement in the Local Area Agreement partnership. The DCLG guidance notes recommend that the VCS to have a key role in the LAA in identifying, influencing and delivering local services. Guidance also suggests that a VCS presence on Local Strategic Partnerships (LSPs) is desirable. This statement briefly outlines how this is being delivered in Cambridgeshire.
The VCS is represented on the five district based LSPs and the LAA Reference Group and other stakeholder forums and partnerships. The strengthening of the VCS infrastructure, through the national Change Up programme, has resulted in the establishment of a county-wide VCS Consortium of agencies that provide support services to member and frontline groups; Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Voluntary Sector Infrastructure Consortium (CVSIC). The collective work of the Consortium covers Community Development and Organisational Capacity Building programmes, thus working directly with individual communities, such as parishes to facilitate parish planning and identify local needs and with the community and voluntary groups to support their long-term sustainability and representation at all levels.
The Consortium is committed to sustaining and improving the overall provision of infrastructure support to meet the diverse needs of the Voluntary and Community Sector in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough and enable effective mechanisms for the delivery of generic and specialist infrastructure services. The extensive contacts and partnerships of the Consortium should enable communication and representation through the four LAA blocks for joint working:
· Children and Young People
· Safer, Stronger Communities
· Healthier Communities and Older People
· Economic Development and Enterprise
A County-wide Compact is being developed, which sets down the principles for joint working between the statutory and voluntary sectors. A number of VCS initiatives, that draw down external funding into the County continue to contribute to this joint working, including the Rural Social and Community Programme, Change Up, Capacity Builders and Big Lottery Building and Sustaining Infrastructure Services (BASIS).
Value and contribution of VCS involvement in LAA
· County VCS Consortium
· Increased participation of frontline VCS groups in LAA
· Network of frontline groups
· Common VCS representative feedback mechanism
· Common monitoring and evaluation standards
· Partnership working to support VCS delivering public services
· Effective and efficient use of expertise to avoid unnecessary duplication
Across Blocks we will include:
* Rural and Social Community Programme (targets, PI’s interventions and funding)
* Sport (targets, PI’s interventions and funding)
