How to guides
Our ‘How to guides’ help people involved in regeneration to become more effective. We currently have three guides on community engagement, joined-up working and regeneration outcomes.
Joined-up Working
This guide includes up to date information about joined up working both in Scotland, and elsewhere. With useful resources, case studies and links to other websites, it should be the first place you look to find out more about joined up working!
Background - find out what we mean by joined up working, and what this site is for.
Resources- up to date guidance, toolkits and research on joined up working.
Profiles - find out what others have done to join up their activities.
Quick links to our six themes – the guide is based around six themes - joined up planning, service delivery, communication, information, budgets and organisational development and staffing.
Community engagement
This guide contains a wealth of useful information to help public and voluntary organisations work jointly with communities. This guide will be useful for anyone involved in community planning and regeneration activity. It includes:
• Background to community engagement
• Engagement and equalities guidance
Regeneration outcomes
Community Planning Partnership have now produced Regeneration Outcome Agreements (ROAs) in Scotland to tackle a number of issues in designated areas with concentrations of deprivation. This guide draws on the experience of those who have produced the ROAs but also includes support material drawn from other experience.
What is distinctive about this approach is the focus on outcomes – the impact made on people’s lives as a result of a planned programme of activity – rather than just the activities themselves. Government increasingly wants to be able to report on results – ‘what has changed’, not just on what actions the money has been spent on. The How to Guide...' on Regeneration Outcomes‘ will enable you to:
• understand the language of outcomes, outputs and related terms
• find out how to apply these to a range of settings and at different levels
• look at examples of Outcome Agreements that have been done by others
• access other examples of effective practice from across the UK
We have one guide which is archived on Partnership Working.
