Issue details
York Neighbourhood Model - Implementation Phase
1. In December 2024, Executive approved a set
of design principles for the creation of Integrated Neighbourhood
Teams (INTs), also referred to as the York Neighbourhood Model.
These teams will bring together multi-disciplinary professionals
across community services, health and care, in partnership with the
voluntary and community sector (VCS) and residents
themselves.
2. The Executive is now asked to consider detailed proposals for
the implementation phase.
The Executive will be asked to:
1. Note the progress made across council teams and by partners,
particularly in the health system, in developing and testing the
Neighbourhood Model.
2. Approve the Shared Outcomes Framework and Practice Model as the
foundation for delivering integrated neighbourhood working across
the city.
Reason: To provide a plan for the implementation of a Neighbourhood
Model for York.
