Supporting People - Strategy And Policies
We have now published our Supporting People 5 Year Strategy which sets out how the programme is being realised and embraced locally & what direction will be taken in order to ensure that all Supporting People funded services are strategically relevant, diverse and inclusive, good quality & value for money.
2007-12 Supporting People Strategy
In October 2005 the Audit Commission recommended in its inspection report of the Poole Supporting People programme that the 5 Year Strategy be revised to include more current and up-dated needs mapping. In response to this an interim strategy was developed early in 2006 with a full strategy agreed by elected members in the summer of 2007.
Commissioning Body
The Supporting People programme and its activities are overseen by representatives of the Bournemouth & Poole Primary Care Trust (B&P PCT), the Probation Service and the Borough of Poole. These representatives form the Commissioning Body group which is responsible for monitoring progress, dealing with management issues and recommending policy and agreeing strategy and policy development. The Council, however, are responsible for any strategic, financial or legal decisions defined by grant guidance.
The schedules dates for the Commissioning Body meetings for 2008 are:
Monday 17 March 2008
