Read our new research into neighbourhood and locality working

July 5, 2018 by ben 2 Comments

Research carried out by the NANM in May and June 2018 through a national survey and senior practitioner interviews shows a new model of neighbourhood management has emerged in response to the challenge of austerity and the increasing complexities of local needs.  We heard from thirty five places where some form of neighbourhood or locality working was in operation – and those were just among respondents who completed our survey, we know there are many more. 

We call this approach ‘strategic locality working’ – an approach to public service management and delivery that is focused at sub-local authority geographies (such as wards) and sees action and budgets co-ordinated across multiple agencies.  Our research report “Doing the right thing”, written by John Houghton, has built up a picture of locality and neighbourhood working across England in 2018; where it being used, what models are in place, and what factors are likely to affect its future.

July 9, 2016 by ben Leave a Comment

We have created a new page with all the presentations, downloads and links from our event on The State of Neighbourhood and Locality Working on Tuesday 14 June 2016, at The Bond Company, Birmingham

This event was all about  the power of connecting and sharing – especially for those involved in neighborhood and locality working, who are under more pressure than ever before to demonstrate the value of what they do.  Connnections map small

You can now access all the outputs from the event on our post-event page HERE.

The State of Neighbourhood and Locality Working

May 23, 2016 by ben Leave a Comment

Full Agenda June 14 2016

Don't Stop BelievingOn Tuesday 14 June in Birmingham we are gathering professionals and community volunteers to take stock of The State of Neighbourhood and Locality Working. The response to this free event has already been fantastic and it is almost fully booked. We hope this reflects the enthusiasm people have to take stock with others working in similar ways across England, to find out how everyone else is demonstrating value, sharing innovation, and dealing with the pressures of spending cuts

We know those working in neighbourhoods and locality teams are often involved in some of the most important areas of public service innovation.

But they are also under greater pressure than ever to demonstrate impact and defend your approach.  At this one day open space event we hope to help share as many examples as possible of current practice and responses to these pressures. We have already got some great contributions:

  • How neighbourhood and locality teams can demonstrate their impact using technology like ‘Impact Apps‘
  • Different models of collaboration with communities- like Community Councils in London and Place Management in Birmingham
  • Contributing to wider community aims – such as helping schools engage locally, or working with the Police to prevent re-offending

There will also be skills and techniques workshops on:

  • defining and measuring outcomes and using theories of change
  • using simple tools for mapping community relationships and assets, and
  • creating digital stories of impact using everyday technology.

The aim is to share experiences, connect (or reconnect) practitioners in this unique area of public services. and build a national picture of impact of neighbourhood and locality working.

If you want to come then reserve a place now on our Eventbrite booking page – and if you cannot make it then watch this space for updates and more information about how to get involved.

Stay in touch,

The NANM team
