Summary of recent research from the Improving Local
Partnerships project at NAVCA
Steve Skinner and Linda Joy Mitchell
This publication draws together the work of two research
projects carried out for NAVCA in 2007 and 2008.
Skilling Up for Stronger Voices looks in turn at the roles that
representatives have in LSPs, the range of key tasks that they
carry out and the types of skills and abilities they are using, and
proposes a skills framework which divides skills and abilities into
three simple themes:
- Partnership skills
- People skills
- Practical skills
We hope the material will be useful in supporting representatives
and the organisations working with them, and that it will be used
in a flexible way, adapted to different needs, and be seen as a set
of working proposals for further exploration.
