Background to Community Budgets
What are Community Budgets? Less ring fencing and direction over budgets Localisation and redefining service delivery Pooling and aligning of budgets of local partners Builds on LAA’s, Total Place, co-design pilots, Family
Intervention Projects etc
Initially, with a particular focus on supporting Families With Multiple Problems (FWMP)...
... With new pilots looking much wider and/ or deeper

Why?Long-running concerns around:Multiple funding streams and accountabilitiesOverlapping or duplicated provisionServices organised by provider rather than user/
beneficiary
... And Families with Multiple Problems a perfect example!

Community Budgets and FWMP in Numbers
£8bn estimated spend on FWMP – ‘welfare millionaires’
120,000 FWMP in England First 16 pilot areas cover 28 Local Authorities
– 25% of English population 10,000 families supported by end of this
Parliament ... But 3.9m households where no-one in work

What are they hoping achieve?
- Step change in the way that services are commissioned and funded – route for delivering on localism and devolution
- Testing ground for Payment By Results (PBR)
- Repositions policy to consider models of non-traditional family
- New approaches – prevention, early intervention, outcomes

An in-depth example Avanta is working in partnership with Manchester City
Council to maximise synergies between the Work Programme and local services through the joining up of local service provision and funding.
This concentrates on helping workless families through targeted interventions designed to break the cycle of intergenerational unemployment and chaotic lifestyles.
Stabilizing chaotic lifestyles is the key. Addressing barriers including addiction, homelessness, skills and other interrelated barriers. A “family Solution” is required to break the cycle of benefit dependency.

Priorities for Avanta
Culture: Contestability Early Intervention
Bonds and PBR Not more Money!
Data Sharing Free Schools
![Page 9: What can we learn from the Community Budget pilots?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815438550346895dc23bbe/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What lessons? Best Community Budgets:
– Build on existing partnerships– Align objectives and accountabilities, not (just) funding– Based on shared evidence, systems and data– Strong local leadership – buy-in
So... not about accounting and finance – focus on families:
“Community Budgets as a term is misleading. It is not about one big budget nor is about the whole community. It is about making services more effective and efficient for those with the greatest need”
![Page 10: What can we learn from the Community Budget pilots?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815438550346895dc23bbe/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The next wave...Broader: four “Whole Place” Community Budgets: Cheshire West and Chester Greater Manchester West London Essex
Deeper: ten “Neighbourhood” Budgets:Neighbourhood control, launching Apr 13
![Page 11: What can we learn from the Community Budget pilots?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815438550346895dc23bbe/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Implications for the futureRadically different public service
model?Maybe... But even if not:–More focus on sharing practice and
working across sectors–More co-design, co-commissioning– Better and more consistent use of data– Evaluation – understanding what works,
but more importantly why?
![Page 12: What can we learn from the Community Budget pilots?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815438550346895dc23bbe/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Which means:Developing innovative and flexible
partnerships between the private, public and voluntary sector
Need to be more ambitious and to move at a faster pace to reflect public sector reform and the need to gain greater value for money.
From intervention to saving to re-thinking service provision
