Local services are often not as integrated as they should be. You will all have examples of individuals who are receiving huge amounts of support from different parts of the system - but are continuing to decline because their fundamental challenges are not being addressed. There are significant costs locked into bureaucratic processes like assessments and passing people from pillar to post around the system.


The way public services are structured in Scotland should lend itself towards effective collaboration and the ideas are there (e.g. from the Christie Commission, The Promise, the recent RSE/Audit Scotland report on “turning rhetoric into reality”).


Examples of great practice can be found - but these often exist despite the system rather than supported by it. The good news is that local places can act right now to put in place the building blocks for much better collaboration between local organisations, much better outcomes for residents and reduced overall spend. This webinar will discuss the concept of “Radical Place Leadership”. It’s about shifting power closer to communities and organising service delivery to focus on the support people really need rather than what organisations need.


The Mutual Ventures team have been working with the South Ayrshire Council and it’s partners and this webinar explored the journey the council has been on with colleagues in health, police, the local third sector and wider.


MV Chief Executive, Andrew Laird, was joined by:

  • Lyndsay McRoberts – South Ayrshire Deputy Chief Executive and Director of Education

  • Billy McClean - Head of Community Health and Care Services, South Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership

  • Prof. Donna Hall – Former Wigan Council Chief Executive, MV Non-Exec Director, and strategic advisor to the South Ayrshire Radical Place Leadership project.
