Former Member 10 Years Ago I would be interested to know how Local Authorities are using the LGA Self Evaluation and Development Tool within their organisation? Are you undertaking any peer reviews/ putting it out for consultation etc . . . . Thanks 0 Reply as... Cancel
Philippa Lynch 10 Years Ago Hi Jayne We have recently carried out some evaluation of the Health and Wellbeing System Improvement Programme, including feedback on the Development Tool. The tool was produced as an alternative to peer challenge, but some councils have used it to prepare for their health and wellbeing peer challenge. Feedback from the evaluation showed that whilst a number of areas are aware of the guidance and have downloaded and reviewed the material, very few have so far used it in any depth as part of a review exercise. However many signalled an intention to use the guidance, and we will be looking to develop a further version of the tool that provides practical steps to support its use locally. Whilst aligning with the peer challenge methodology, our intention is to provide a practical tool that offers all HWBs an opportunity to evaluate their position, use their findings as a prompt to consider and challenge their own practice, and as a stepping stone towards developing an improvement plan. We will not be consulting on the tool, but will continue to develop in light of feedback received. How individual HWBs use the tool is up to them and we recognise that some may wish to use it flexibly. We would welcome any comments and feedback that you have. Philippa 0 Reply as... Cancel
