Scottish Government and COSLA publish updated community engagement and participation guidance ‘Planning with People’.
‘Planning with People’ Community Engagement and Participation Guidance for Health and Social Care was published on the Scottish Government website (this link will take you away from our website) this week.
This document was produced jointly by the Scottish Government and COSLA with significant contribution from stakeholders representing health and social care across Scotland, giving their time to shape and inform this guidance. Listening to the views of people who use services, and actively involving them throughout the process of planning care delivery, is a key improvement recommendation of the recent Independent Review of Adult Social Care in Scotland.
The guidance is designed to support NHS Boards, Integration Joint Boards and Local
Authorities to deliver their existing statutory duties for engagement and public involvement. In recognising the good work that is taking place, the guidance is designed to complement and strengthen organisations’ existing engagement strategies.
The guidance sets out:
– The importance of community engagement and participation
– A principles-based approach, which underpins and supports robust evidence based, high quality and meaningful engagement
– An overview of the differing governance arrangements for NHS Boards, Local Authorities and Integration Authorities, including the major service change provision for NHS Boards
During 2021 Planning with People will be subject to wide consultation, to ensure that this guidance supports the Human Rights approach and is aligned to the recommendations in the Review of Adult Social Care in Scotland. Progress of this will be reviewed and reported over 2022.
