North Warwickshire Community Partnership Dialogue Events

Background
In 2000, every principal local authority was given a duty to prepare a community plan for the area, enhancing the quality of life its local community. In North Warwickshire it was agreed that this work would be undertaken in partnership with local people and a range of organisations, which led to the development of the first Partnership Day in 2000.

Partnership Day 1
The first Partnership event focused on quality of life issues. The day looked at ways to tackle local priorities in partnership with other organisations and to raise awareness of, and begin to shape the development of the Community Plan for North Warwickshire. The event also made a start of gaining ownership by agencies/groups in the development of a broad North Warwickshire Community Partnership (the Local Strategic Partnership) as well as establishing a shared vision of where North Warwickshire should be in 20 years time.

Partnership Day 2
Partnership Day II was organised like the first although it was focussed around 2 key themes of the Community Plan, ‘Young People’ and ‘Community Life’. The event updated participants on the progress made on issues raised at the first Partnership Day. It generated discussion about the potential for partnership working on Youth and Community Life issues, and how the organisations attending the event could work towards youth and community life objectives. Key recommendations were made to the North Warwickshire Community Partnership about strategic machinery to develop and support these aims.

Partnership Day 3
Partnership Day III was organised like Partnership Day II focussing around 2 key themes of the Community Plan, ‘Environment’ and ‘Health & Wellbeing’. The event updated participants on the progress made on issues raised at Partnership Day II. This update included substantive change as well as process issues (e.g. such as the valuable work done on the development of a North Warwickshire Community Partnership and thematic groups).

Partnership Day 4
Partnership Day IV was organised like previous years and around focussed the themes ‘Education and Lifelong Learning’ and ‘the Local Economy’. The event updated participants on the progress made on issues raised at Partnership Day II. This update included substantive change as well as process issues

Partnership Day 5 (July 2005)
Partnership Day V was structured around the thematic headings of the Community Plan and looked at service provision in rural North Warwickshire. Each workshop looked at the key aims and objectives set out in the Community Plan and ask itself – Does the Community Plan capture the rural dimensions of North Warwickshire and is the aim and objectives right?

Partnership Day 6
The purpose of this event was to raise awareness of the Local Area Agreement (LAA) process and to take the opportunity to identify priorities from North Warwickshire to inform the development of the Warwickshire LAA. This event followed a morning session celebrating the success of partnership and launched the North Warwickshire Sustainable Community Plan and Rural Framework for Sustainable Action.
