Community Planning Partnership
Reports and Research
The North Ayrshire Community Planning Partnership are results driven. To help us achieve our goals we carry out research about North Ayrshire and its communities. This includes looking at national and local data that is collected, and asking people for their views.
Across the Partnership there are dedicated and skilled staff who analyse the research and produce reports that recommend how we can improve, based on the best evidence possible.
The Community Planning Partnership Annual Report
Every year the Community Planning Partnership in North Ayrshire produce a report that shows the overall performance of the partnership and progress towards our long term outcomes. The annual report also includes many great practical examples of what partners are doing to make a difference.
Best Value Assurance Report on North Ayrshire Council
The Accounts Commission have published their Best Value Assurance Report on North Ayrshire Council. This is relevant to Community and Locality Planning as it covers how we work in partnership and the difference it is making. You can view the report here.
North Ayrshire People's Panel
This is a survey of 2000 local residents who have agreed to answer questions and provide their views on the areas in which they live. We then hold focus groups for 8-12 people in each locality to find out a bit more about their views.
The People’s Panel Survey was originally carried out annually but is now every two years. The Partnership uses this information to decide what action to take on the issues that local residents tell us need to be improved.

The SIMD (Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation)
The SIMD is the official tool for identifying deprivation across Scotland. It is carried out every three or four years. This index consists of a table of overall scores for multiple deprivation, based on seven domains, across small areas known as datazones. The index ranks each data zone from the most to the least multiply deprived. There are 6976 datazones across Scotland.
Our CPP analysts use this index to help them identify areas of concern. Along with other local data and community views, this can be used by locality partnerships to identify the priorities for action.
This Briefing and presentation explains the SIMD further and summarises the most recent information published.
Community Justice Plan for Ayrshire
Community Justice Ayrshire is a partnership which is focused on preventing and reducing re-offending. They have published a Plan called ‘Beginnings, Belonging, Belief’ to help do this. The Plan is for all of those affected by crime. That includes people involved in offending, their families, victims, communities and those working in the justice system.
This plan is known as a Community Justice Outcomes Improvement Plan (CJOIP) and is a statutory requirement of the Community Justice (Scotland) Act 2016:
- ‘Beginnings, Belonging, Belief’ – Community Justice Outcomes Improvement Plan
- ‘Starting from Strengths, not Needs’ – Strategic Assessment for Community Justice Ayrshire
- Our Commitments Plan – Community Justice Commitments Plan
- Our Participation Statement – Community Justice Participation Statement
- Our Equality Impact Assessment – Community Justice Equalities Impact Assessment
A new ‘Beginnings, Belonging, Belief’ Plan will be produced by April each year. Community Justice Ayrshire brings together a wide range of partners working to prevent and reduce re-offending. It reports to the three Ayrshire Community Planning Partnerships.
