Local Area Coordination
Overview
We want everyone in South Tyneside to be part of an empowered and thriving community. A place where people feel they can contribute to their own community, are welcomed and supported in their daily life.
To help deliver this vision we have started to introduce a new way of working called Local Area Coordination.
It's a community-based approach that helps people stay strong, safe, and connected. It focuses on building relationships and supporting residents.
Local Area Coordination will:
- help people to stay strong and well within their local community
- develop welcoming and supportive communities
- encourage system change and the transformation of our public services by understanding the challenges and issues people face when they need support
This approach has been developed successfully in other areas of the country. For more details on how this has worked see .
