Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act The purpose of the Act is to make it easier for
communities to achieve their goals, by giving
them clear statutory rights to be more proactive in
determining service provision, delivering services
and owning/managing assets.
Getting It Right For Every Child (GIRFEC) The
GIRFEC approach aims to improve the wellbeing
of all children and young people by improving
assessment, decision making, planning and multiagency working.

Thrive Project
A partnership between Stirling Councils Adult
Learning Team, family workers in the local nurseries
and NHS Forth Valley Keep Well Team. The project
aims to support parents to develop skills and
confidence within a women centred programme.
Delivered through a 16 week programme, the
project focuses on change for a healthier lifestyle
and promoting personal development. It provides
skills based workshops to increase confidence,
knowledge and awareness of coping with day to
day stresses. Participants explore attitudes and the
vital importance of skills for creating pathways and
opportunities within the wider community, such
as further education, volunteering or employment.
The programme is also supporting participants to
be more confident in supporting their childrens
learning and development, which is vital in terms of
raising attainment.
The team is working in partnership with local authorities and Third Sector organisations to empower
individuals, groups and communities to improve health through increasing knowledge, skills and access to
food.
The team addresses health and economic food issues, particularly with those working with vulnerable
individuals and families.

Through Detached Work, support was put in place
for a young person, Barry*, to overcome barriers
such as alcohol intake and to discuss job aspirations.
The worker agreed to meet Barry on a 1 to 1 basis
to explore further. The worker received a call from
Social Work advising that the young person had
overdosed and over the next 18 months, Barry
overdosed a number of times. A range of services
continued to support the young person through
this period. Although engagement with the
worker continued to be very sporadic, contact was
maintained and small steps were made to build
confidence, resilience and skills. Barry elected to
undertake a medication programme and moved out
of the family home into homeless accommodation.
During this period, he was supported intensely by
agencies/services. Barry is now drug free, taking
driving lessons and has secured employment. He
continues to engage with the service as and when
required.

Barriers to Participation
From the CLD survey undertaken to support the development of this Action Plan, barriers
to participation were identified. These include awareness of CLD services, lack of confidence
to participate and the times and the places that CLD provision was delivered. We are
committed to working together to, as far as possible, remove the barriers detailed above.
