Community Strategy 2011-21
Vale of Glamorgan Community Strategy 2011-21

A new Community Strategy for the Vale of
Glamorgan has been produced and represents a more coordinated
approach to improving the quality of life in the Vale.
The Strategy covers the period 2011-21 and
builds on the previous Strategy whilst incorporating a number of
key partnership plans and strategies. The Strategy includes:
- The Children and Young People's Plan
- The Health, Social Care and Wellbeing Strategy
- Community Safety Action Plan
- Regeneration Strategy
- Learning and Skills Strategy
- Older People's Strategy
Integrating all of these strategies into one
document has been a complex task but has also highlighted
opportunities for joint working.
The Strategy has been developed by a range of
partners to ensure we have identified the right priorities for the
Vale.
Consultation
Consultation on the draft Strategy ran for 12 weeks from 24
January to 17 April 2011. The purpose of the consultation was
to find out if we have got the right Strategy. Have we
identified the right priorities and will the proposed actions
deliver the intended outcomes?
The consultation included a Local Service Forum Event which was
attended by a range of partners. Reports on the Local Serivce Forum
event and the consultation process have
been prepared.
Delivery Plan
A three-year delivery plan has been
developed which provides more detail about when activities
will be undertaken and by whom.
Annual Report
The Annual Report is divided into six
sections to reflect what has been achieved by the key partnerships
who lead on different priority outcomes. Each section provides
information on performance and outcomes, data development,
challenges and key actions for 2012/13. Achievements should be
viewed in the context of what the starting point was for the
Strategy.
Needs Assesments
The new Community Strategy was underpinned by a unified
needs assesment which was informed by the individual needs
assesments below and helped establish the priorities. More
information about the unified needs assesment can be found

Equality Impact Assesment
As part of the development of the Community Strategy an Equality
Impact Assesment was undertaken.
