Commission’s Comprehensive Needs Assessment (2011): The potential development of partnership arrangements within the sector should be explored in relation to the delivery of services to victims and survivors

Partnership and Collaborative Working

Partnership and Collaborative Working

Commission’s evaluation of the Victims Support Programme (RSM, 2015):

• There was little evidence of partnership working between victims and

survivors organizations

• Some sign-posting or referral of clients to other victims’ organisations

although limited evidence of partnership working in the development of services or the identification of need

• Limited evidence of partnership working between the victims and

survivors sector and the statutory sector

• VSP funded services do not duplicate services provided through the

statutory sector and therefore the VSP is highly additional

• However, there is some evidence to suggest that there could be

potential duplication within localised geographical areas

• It is clear that no single funder has a strategic overview of the funding

landscape to the sector.

Partnership and Collaborative Working

INP Recommendation 6: Minimise Duplication through Collaborative Working with Other Service Providers In order to ensure Value for Money, mechanisms should be put in place to ensure that services provided through the VSS are additional to supports provided by

• ther agencies and do not duplicate or displace

mainstream services. The VSS should work in collaboration with other agencies, sign-posting to their services where appropriate, to ensure effective delivery and minimal duplication of services.

Partnership and Collaborative Working

VSP Recommendation 4: Embed partnership working within Programme requirements/processes VSS and CVS should actively encourage victims and survivors organisations to work collaboratively to enable them to deliver services to their client group in a more efficient and joined-up way. This could include, embedding the need for evidence of collaboration and partnership working within the funding application and assessment process.

Partnership and Collaborative Working

VSP Recommendation 5: VSS should work collaboratively with the sector

In order to maximise the potential for a strategic approach to the development of services within the sector, and to embed the principles of partnership working and sustainability, VSS should work collaboratively with the sector to support in the development of service plans/funding applications. Applications should then be assessed by an Independent Panel to avoid any conflict of interest where VSS staff have supported potential service providers in the development of plans.

Partnership and Collaborative Working

• Appreciation of challenges in sector around victims choice,

trust, security and confidentiality

• This issue even more pressing now with VSS budget

pressures and the need to work collectively to secure best

• utcomes for victims (Outcome Based Accountability)
• CVS/VSS has role to play in advising on better mapping of

services, strategic allocation of funding and longer term funding cycles for better planning in sector

• Clear context to progress more collaboration and

partnerships, practical steps already started…

Collaborative Design Programme Next Steps

 This is the second in a series of workshops on the

Victims and Survivors Collaborative Design Process;

 We plan to hold more workshops focused on the key

priorities which you have identified. Is this the best way to move forward?;

 We will also continue with our engagement across

the Victims Sector to help inform this process.
