Radical proposals for community leadership of extended service provision in North Hartlepool
North Hartlepool Extended Services Partnership, Hartlepool
Challenging communities often lack local leaders. Extended Services in North Hartlepool plan to develop a network of community leaders - adults and young people - in this challenging area who will be empowered to lead the development of extended service provision. This work will have a new form of governance through a 'brokerage board' containing community partners and membership from the six locality primary schools and one comprehensive secondary school. The aim is to create a personalised, multi-agency and community driven approach to meet the needs of learners of all ages. A programme of community engagement has energised a wide group of stakeholders and the local authority is partnering the work and adapting its borough-wide arrangements to support the project.
The schools in the locality, working in partnership with the Local Authority, are creating a community interest company which can first house and then 'float' the Brokerage Board, so enabling local community-driven leadership of extended service provision and growth of community leadership.
Chris Wise is working for the Partnership. Meet him here.
