What is the Leicestershire LINk?
LINk stands for Local Involvement Network. This is a national initiative and there is a LINk in
every local authority area. The LINk is a way of giving people the power to improve the
health and social care services around them. The LINk is a network of networks, joining
people together to have their say on how services are run.
The Leicestershire LINk will work closely with the health and social care services that the
people of Leicestershire use, including services across county boundaries. We will also work in
partnership with LINKs in neighbouring counties. There are separate LINks for Leicester,
Rutland, Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire.
What is happening in the Leicestershire
LINk
The Leicestershire LINk is in a transitional
stage, getting itself ready for a launch in the
new year. The LINk has a Transitional Steering
Group that will be in place until March 2009,
when elections will be held for a LINk board. A
host organisation, the CVS Community
Partnership, has been appointed to help create
and support the LINk.
Current LINk Work
The Transitional LINk has four sub groups that
are currently working hard to establish the
LINk, these are:
● Development Group
● Communications Group
● Quick Wins Group
● Governance Group
Development Group
The Development Group will agree the proposed
structure for the future of the Leicestershire
LINk, for agreement by the Transitional Steering
Group. To consider and discuss how the LINk
should be launched. They will also monitor the
implementation of any engagement work
undertaken on behalf of the LINk.
Communications Group
The Communications Group is looking at all the
publicity materials needed to launch the LINk
including logos, membership forms, leaflets,
and posters.
Quick Wins Group
The Quick Wins Group will be doing some short
term work over the next few months trying to
improve social care and health services for the
people of Leicestershire.
The Governance Group
The Governance Group is looking at all the
policies and procedures which will be necessary
to ensure that the new LINk runs effectively.
These policies will include things like terms of
reference for the Steering Group of the LINk
and a Code of Conduct for members.
