Scottish Borders Community Plan (Local Outcomes Improvement Plan) PDF 2 MB Consider approval of Scottish Borders Community Plan. (Attached.) Minutes: Under the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015, there was a requirement on the Community Planning Partnership to produce a Local Outcome Improvement Plan (LOIP) for the Scottish Borders. A copy of the Scottish Borders Community Plan (the LOIP) had been circulated prior to the meeting. The Plan looked to highlight what the Borders-wide inequalities were and how the Community Planning Partnership could work together and with local communities and businesses to address those inequalities and improve outcomes. National and local data and statistics, community views, and professional knowledge from across the Partnership was used to help identify the inequalities and gain an understanding of the key issues and challenges across the Borders. There were 4 themes in the Plan: Our Economy, Skills & Learning; Our Health, Care & Wellbeing; Our Quality of Life; and Our Place. There were 15 outcomes associated with these themes. Measures and targets, along with key actions, were still to be added in to the Plan. It was intended that the Plan would be dynamic and interactive and would eventually go online to become truly interactive. Mr Jakimciw requested that partners be asked to contribute to the measures and targets.
Action: AGREED –
(a) to approve the Scottish Borders Community Plan for publication; and
(b) to write to all the Community Planning Partners asking for their contributions to the measures, targets and actions to be included in the Community Plan.
