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.
