Where Locality Working Came From • Need for Public Sector to take Inequalities Seriously • Failure demand • Total Place work – was working • Lochend and Craigmillar serious case reviews

Locality Working Aspiration for an individual • ‘ de-clutter ’ the landscape • keep the focus on the family • develop relationships, which build on strengths • build resilience • provide better continuity • identify and support the person most likely to achieve engagement • embed Getting it Right principles in everyday practice Aspiration for organisations • better partnership working between organisations • share resources • complement one another better • make savings ££ 3

Health and Social Care Partnership and Locality Working • Covers adult services • Legal requirement to work in localities and was the driver behind the full city change to localities • HSCP Managers appointed a few months ago, working into these posts • There will be a central core team for older people, disability, mental health, substance misuse, primary care and public health 4

H&SC Partnership Locality Model • Locality structure will deliver all of its generic services in either - Geographical clusters – complex needs and longer term interventions based around GP’s practices - Locality hubs – crisis or short term interventions bringing together practice teams • Integrated mental health and substance misuse team in each locality Hub Cluster 1 Cluster 2 Mental Health and SM Team

City of Edinburgh Council and Locality Working • A team in CEC has been working towards locality working for the last year, consulting with partners including EVOC • Meetings held with CEC staff in February to start to orientate towards this change • Move towards localities has started and working towards implementation from July 2016 • Locality Leader and Locality Managers for each locality now in place.
