Are you baffled about who is in charge of what?
Do you want to know who makes decision about the delivery of public services in the Bradford District?
Over the past couple of years there have been major changes in the management of local public services and the strategic decision making structures of local statutory organisations.
Bradford Vision was abolished and replaced by the Bradford District Partnership; Bradford Council has been restructured; and the local tPCT (which runs much of the local NHS) has been completely re-organised.
This course aims to help members of voluntary and community groups understand how decisions are made about public services in Bradford. How does Bradford Council arrive at decisions? What is the Local Strategic Partnership (LSP)? What are the new committees that make up the LSP? Who else has control of local public expenditure? How can community and voluntary groups have a say? And what can you do if you disagree with decisions?
This course is aimed at staff and management committee members of voluntary and community groups who are unsure about where and how decisions that affect their organisation are made. It will also be useful for community representatives on partnership bodies or regeneration initiatives, plus anyone who is interested – perhaps with a view to putting themselves forward as a community representative.
