Previous Review 2012

Annual review on purpose of HT highlighted satisfaction with:  How the Board had been launched in 2011  strategic development of the Future Borough Strategy  HT ability to look at the ‘whole of Hounslow’ point of view  Board Members commitment and alignment to the strategy. Issues of understanding and clarifying of HT were also raised: × After the initial enthusiasm, sense of clarity & purpose waned, impacting on commitment to the strategy. × Questions raised on where/how HT was adding value - was it about the overview

• r the detail?

Ways forward

• clarify purpose of Board and its members,
• Share information and work planning
• Focus on single cross-cutting topics which add value & bring partners’ skills

together

2014 Audit

• 19 Feb 2017: Progress assessment against action Plan
• 30 April 2017: Contextual factors and changes

Decision to develop community resilience project

Community Resilience

• Community Resilience Measure

and Cranford Stronger came out of the identified focus on resilience in the face of high population growth, churn & change

• Testing ground for learning about

which relationship matter, how many, with whom etc.

• In March 2017 HT Board suggest

looking at the implications for policy and strategy

CST & Community Resilience measure Project outcomes Policy outcomes

Household

Neighbourhood

Situated in a geographical area

Work/school Friends Individual

Basis for Strategy

Competence Emotional fragility Isolation

Wellbeing

Family Neighbourhood support

Key question: Relationships?

OUTCOMES FOR PEOPLE

e.g. Health, Social Care,

PLACE

Parks, leisure centres, planning, roads, waste removal

?

Working from the project information ?

Bonds (very close) Attachments (close) Transactions (Not close)

Emotional Content

 Who (or where) do you go to if you want to discuss any problems and get advice Where there is high affective content e.g. ‘a shoulder to cry

• n’.

Where there is some emotional content/ value- has to do with being a ‘good neighbour’, colleague, group member, faith group member (belonging) Where there is no significant emotional content or values attached to relationships. (Will probably not be mention in SN Analysis)

Social content

 Who are the people (and groups/services) you most enjoy socialising and spending time with?  Where there are reciprocal visits to homes or engagement in social activities. Some sociability in public space but rarely extends to extensive or regular social activities Cheerful greetings with little desire for more extended sociability. (Maintaining respectful distance)

Financial/practical/status/ information outcomes

Practical  Who gives you every day practical help when you need it such as putting up a shelf, or picking up shopping/prescription Regular and extensive practical support e.g. childcare, shopping, fix something Practical but intermittent support e.g. keeping an eye on children Someone who may provide small,

• ften reciprocal acts of practical

assistance (Will probably not be mention in SN Analysis) Financial

• If you lost your purse or wallet and

needed to borrow money from someone, who could you ask Direct financial help May be able to borrow a fiver but it may be difficult to ask Someone who may provide small amounts in an absolute emergency (Will probably not be mention in SN Analysis) Local Information

• Who are the people you would go to, to

find out what is happening in the community?

• Where/who do you go to get useful

information? (e.g. Services that are available) Person/group who is very close but also knows whats happening locally Neighbour or person who is locally conneced also knows whats happening locally Someone/a group/service who you don’t know well but you know you can ask them

What relationships matter and how do we support them? Categorising relationships
