Consultation has concluded
Following a series of consultations with Belfast's VCSE sectors in 2018-2019, Belfast Community Planning Partnership (CPP) is implementing a new VCSE participation and representation model, to enhance the third sector's involvement in the city's community planning process.
The new approach seeks to recognise the varied range and levels of interactions that VCSE stakeholders might wish to participate in, and the broad variation in interests and capacity for stakeholders in the city's VCSE to participate.
As a result, the CPP's approach is multifaceted. The new model seeks to strengthen participation in 3 main areas, while also ensuring stronger communication, awareness raising and connectivity between each area:
Establishment of a VCSE Sectoral Advisory Panel to facilitate the selection of participation of VCSE sectoral delegates, who can advocate on behalf of others in the sector, in the formal community planning governance structures.
Establishment of a VCSE Citywide Network to facilitate effective and ongoing communication across the wider VCSE sectors in the city, in relation to the Belfast Agenda, community planning and the work of the Sectoral Advisory Panel, and to provide appropriate engagement and consultation opportunities to support the community planning process;
Ensuring more focused participation of relevant VCSE sectoral experts in more detailed thematic action planning (utilising the knowledge, expertise and stakeholder intelligence from both the Panel (1) and wider network (2) above, to help Partners to target appropriate stakeholder participation from the VCSE sector).
VCSE model agreed by CPP on 30 September 2019
