The Northern Local Care Partnership’s (NLCP) ‘Community Development & Learning’ delivery programme steering group

To meet monthly as a steering group to ensure the integrated delivery of the Community Development & Learning programme. As set out in the joint forward plan, we have four Community Development & Learning objectives:

By 2028, local communities, and particularly disadvantaged groups, will be empowered by placing them at the heart of decision making through inclusive and participatory processes and have an active role in decision-making and governance – ‘no decision about me without me’
By 2028, local communities will work in partnership to bring about positive social change by identifying their collective goals, engaging in learning and taking action to bring about change for their communities.
By 2028, a community development workforce will be supported, equipped and trained to agreed standards, code of ethics and values-based practice.
By 2028, Local Care Partnerships will have integrated the role of community partnerships into their infrastructure and planning to ensure the communities of Devon are an equal partner both at system and local level.
