In addition the partners have established a forum of specialist agencies operating in the equalities field to act as a critical friend, challenging partners to consider these issues broadly. Within Midlothian the partnership co-funds with the Council an Equalities Engagement post holder. This post holder has worked with a range of members of minority groups across the equalities protected characteristics to set up the Midlothian People’s Equalities Group, which has developed a cross equalities analysis of issues facing minority communities in Midlothian, delivered a learning programme for schools, organised a local MELA (a cross community celebration event), and continues to act as a critical friend to the community planning partners. The decision of the CPP to target actions aimed at closing the outcome gap for residents in the parts of the county identified in the top 20% of SIMD reflects the decision of the Midlothian part of the CPP Equalities forum to retain those affected by poverty as equalities group, despite this being dropped from the national Equality Act 2010 list of protected characteristics groups. Great care will be required to ensure that this geographic focus does not adversely affect members of other protected characteristics population groups. Each step taken to re-allocate resources to geographic target areas will require an EQIA, the formal legally required consideration of how any policy may discriminate against or adversely affect people in ‘protected characteristics groups’.

Equalities. The work of the Community Planning Partnership is underpinned by a commitment to promoting equality and tackling inequality. We will continue to pursue an ‘equalities’ agenda which recognises diversity within our communities and ensures that the needs of all residents are taken into account irrespective of disability, gender, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, age, religion and belief, gender reassignment, pregnancy or maternity, or economic circumstances. The development of equality outcomes in East Ayrshire contributes to developing a broader understanding of the equality agenda and building the capacity of our communities and employees to work in a way which promotes equality and tackles inequality, a guiding principle of the Community Plan. Equalities outcomes have been linked to our SOA, which will ensure that information and data collected as part of this process will be used to support wider planning and delivery of activity, and that we are continuing to moving forward in relation to mainstreaming equality within Community Planning as part of the ongoing development of our SOA.

This post holder has worked with and we recognise that achievement of improved outcomes will be demanding and influenced by a range of members external factors outwith our control. In East Ayrshire, our focus will be to work in partnership to address this challenging agenda as we go forward. Through our Community Plan and the SOA, we will work individually and in partnership to achieve the shared Vision for East Ayrshire and deliver on our agreed strategic priorities and improved local outcomes to the benefit of minority groups across local people and our communities. East Ayrshire Introduction East Ayrshire is situated in south west Scotland and covers an area of 490 square miles from Lugton in the equalities protected characteristics north to set up Loch Doon in the Midlothian People’s Equalities Groupsouth. It has a population of 122,440 who live in a mixture of urban, rural and isolated communities. Kilmarnock is the major urban area with a population of around 44,000.The remainder of the population lives in smaller communities ranging from less than a hundred people in small villages and rural areas to around 9,000 people in Cumnock. East Ayrshire has a high quality environment with good quality services, including health, education, housing, social and leisure services, and a strong community spirit. This was confirmed by the Community Planning Residents’ Survey 2014, which has developed demonstrated that 77% of respondents felt that the quality of life in their town or village was good. These are valuable assets upon which we continue to build and Community Planning Partners are committed to working together to make a cross equalities analysis of issues facing minority communities in Midlothian, delivered a learning programme for schools, organised a local MELA (a cross community celebration event), and continues to act as a critical friend real difference to the community planning partnerslives of local people.

In addition the partners have established a forum of specialist agencies operating in the equalities field to act as a critical friend, challenging partners to consider these issues broadly. The Midlothian partnership has reached agreement with East Lothian’s Community Planning Partnership to operate this group across both Mid and East Lothian. This reduces demand on small specialist organisations with regional remits, such as Edinburgh and Lothian Racial Equality Council or Stonewall, to attend meetings and enables a more effective focus on delivery of shared action. Within Midlothian the partnership co-funds with the Council an Equalities Engagement equalities engagement post holder. This post holder has worked with a range of members of minority groups across the equalities protected characteristics to set up the Midlothian People’s Equalities GroupForum, which has developed a cross equalities analysis of issues facing minority communities in Midlothian, delivered a learning programme for schools, organised a local MELA (a cross community celebration event), and continues to act as a critical friend to the community planning partners.

By 2028, it Housing thematic group is estimated that there will be 20,200 people aged 65yrs+, with just over half of those individuals being over 75 years old. A particular challenge responsible for the Partnership is delivery of this section of the projected sharp rise Single Midlothian Plan. Services within this area are under increasing pressure to respond to continuing growth in demand as a result of demographic changes in times of financial austerity. In addition to this, the changing expectations of service users requires a fundamental shift in the numbers way in which people access and receive services. Significant strides have been made over the last few years to provide more outcome focussed services and reconfigure services in a number of areas, including the whole system transformation of services for older people and the work as a national Dementia Demonstrator Site. New multi-agency strategic plans have also been launched for housing, mental health, people with physical disabilities and carers. Improvements in the use of ‘Talking Points’ across both health and social care, and the implementation of ‘self-directed care’, will enhance outcomes focused approaches by enabling people across all client groups to take greater control and responsibility for their own care arrangements. Over the next 3-5 years we will work towards delivering the following outcomes • Enhance support system for carers • Promote independence for people with disabilities • Ensuring fewer people are affected by drug and alcohol misuse • Provide access to quality affordable housing by delivering affordable homes of rent and sale • Enhance services to promote mental health and wellbeing • Enhance quality and capacity of services to support people in their own homes • Enhance social inclusive and personalised services • Enhance financial inclusion of people with dementia; community care needs These priorities have been informed by the strategic plans developed and managed by the specific planning groups who report to the Adult Health, Care and Housing thematic group. These documents have been developed in conjunction with the various agencies operating in Midlothian, users and carers and informed by national estimates and local priorities (see page 10 of Strategic Assessment). More information on these documents is outlined below. It should be noted that a number of the Adult Health, Care and Housing priorities have direct links with priorities of other community planning thematic groups. These interdependencies have been highlighted in the action plan. The drive to transform public services through enhanced partnership working, expanding community and voluntary sector capacity and enhancing the provision of preventative services and early intervention across all services, continues to be of significant importance to this thematic area. Strengthening the working arrangements across the community planning thematic groups will be key to achieving the outcomes above and addressing cross cutting areas such as hate crime, employment and adult support and protection. Looking forward, the challenge will be to deliver these priorities and continue programmes of change whilst working towards more integrated health and community care arrangements. In preparation for the national health and social care integration agenda a joint Shadow Health and Social Care board will be established in 2013. It is envisaged that as changes in legislation are these passed the Board will double between assume responsibility for the majority of this community planning theme. The new Older People’s Strategy 2011-3115 outlines the implementation of the “Reshaping Care for Older People” agenda in order to support more older people to live as independently as possible for as long as they can.
