'Making it Personal': The Civic Partnership Training Programme
13 JANUARY – 24 FEBRUARY 2010
Public services – whether funded by grants or through commissioning – are in a state of transition. As services become more person-centred - the marketplace in which VCO’s operate is likely to change dramatically. Some of this is starting with health and social care – but eventually it will move into all other areas. This one-off training programme offer an introduction to the type of areas that VCO’s need to think about to ensure that systems, processes, staff and services are looking ahead to the future and confident about their capacity to respond.
‘Making it Personal’ has been built around 7 key themes:
- evidencing outcomes and your impact
- commissioning for results – not just outcomes
- service transformation – personalisation and implications for VCO’s
- developing strong financial management
- building your organisation’s business and capacity in a changing world
- developing an enterprising Kirklees
- mentoring and 1:1 support.
Trainers, speakers and presenters are being brought in from across the country to lead key sessions. These include (amongst others) ACEVO (the professional body for third sector chief executives), the new economics foundation, In-Control and DEMOS – all leaders in their field – pioneering work on personalisation and measuring outcomes.
Hopefully the programme offers something for everyone – no matter how large or small your operation, or how new or experienced you are in delivering services. ‘Making it Personal’ offers a menu of options for you to select from.

About the Civic Partnership: Kirklees has been successful in securing funding from H.M. Treasury through its Invest to Save Programme to encourage new and joined up working between the public sector and VCS. The Civic Partnership has set out to overcome barriers – such as complex processes and rules and different standards and systems which operate in different parts of the public sector – to make things better for service users and VCS organisations. The programme comes to an end in March 2010
