Providing opportunities to enrich people s lives. Introduction Welcome to South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture s (SLLC) 2016/17 Business Plan. This plan has been designed to identify the actions and priorities for the coming year, with background and performance information relating to SLLC contained in a separate document titled Who we are and what we do. 2016/17 is another year of change and challenge. The continued requirement to operate with reducing funding has resulted in a review to identify changes in how and if services will be provided in the future while ensuring appropriate resources for the services we continue to provide. Meanwhile the Health and Social Care Partnership begins this year and we would hope to provide significant supporting activities in this core area of our business. Finally each section of the business has their key service priorities identified in the plan. All this is aimed at providing continuous improvement in all our dealings with customers, partners and stakeholders and ensuring that visitors and residents will have more opportunities to take part in cultural and leisure activities and consequently enjoy the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Gerry Campbell, General Manager, South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture Business Plan 2016/17 3

Financial Resources 2016/17 The level of grant support provided to local government by the Scottish Government remains a reducing one in real terms. In this challenging economic climate, local authorities anticipate further budget reductions over the next three financial years. The level of financial settlement for SLC has a direct impact on the service fee payable to SLLC for managing leisure and culture services on their behalf. The continued savings requirements have led to a 24% reduction in the SLC Service fee from 2013/14 to 2016/17, in addition income performance over that period has been impacted by significant reductions, especially from gym memberships. This has led to a requirement to restructure the budgets to properly represent the new spending profiles and the full details of each service and site can be found in our detailed budgets. The unrestricted fund budget is shown below: Budget 2016/17 2016/17 000s Expenditure 36,430 Income 17,965 SLC Service Fee 18,465 In setting the budget for 2016/17 savings of 1.28m were implemented to bring the base Service Fee to 18.465m. In addition to these savings funding for Coalburn Leisure Centre has ceased and achieving some income targets will be difficult at a time of reducing attendances. Changes fall into the following broad categories: Targeted price increases generating increased income Staffing restructure Closure of under-utilised services Each has risks and in developing the SLLC priorities and Outcome Delivery Plan it has been recognised: That the base SLC Service Fee will be 18.465m That there will be fewer managers and staff to deliver the services In an environment of increasing competition and reducing attendances the 51% of our total income which comes from paying customers is volatile. Recent performance demonstrates that we must continue to develop and reorganise our business to ensure that we are able to provide the key services to the agreed standards over the coming years. The priorities for the year 2016/17 have been agreed and while we must retain flexibility to respond to the key themes highlighted, the priorities must remain our focus as demonstrated in the Outcome Delivery Plan. The Marketing Plan and associated action plan are also an essential element of our efforts to ensure we achieve our income targets. 4

Providing opportunities to enrich people s lives. Key Themes 2016/17 In developing the Service Priorities a number of key themes have been taken into account. Each of these themes has the capacity to alter resourcing plans to such an extent that other priorities may be affected and because of their importance they are highlighted: 1. Health 1.1 Health and Wellbeing SLLC delivers a range of health related services in conjunction with NHS Lanarkshire and also supports a number of consistent themes with NHS Lanarkshire, as noted in their Public Health Annual Report for 2014/15, in particular: The Health Inequalities Action Plan and themes SLLC is supporting this theme through the Fairhill Integration Pilot Lanarkshire s Cancer Plan SLLC is supporting the Lanarkshire Cancer Improvement plan through the McMillan Cancer project in Libraries Cardiac Rehabilitation SLLC referral programmes and Physical Activity Prescription pilot These services however have been part of an SLLC wide generic programme and have never been targeted to reflect the specific demographic or health inequalities and health needs of a local area. It is anticipated that SLLC will work closely with Health and Social Care partners and NHS Lanarkshire to review and develop health intervention programmes which reflect the health needs of the community. A recommendation of the recently produced SLLC Health Impact Assessment noted that NHS Lanarkshire and SLLC should focus on collecting data locally so that need can be identified and resources targeted appropriately. This would also enable any resulting change in physical activity levels to be recorded. It is well documented that the greatest health gains relating to physical activity are likely to be attained by people whose physical activity levels are below the recommended levels. Targeting inactive people is a challenge and this is something that NHS Lanarkshire and SLLC will continue to collaborate on. 1.2 Health and Social Care Partnership New Scottish legislation which integrates the delivery of health and social services in the community has the potential to significantly impact how and to whom we deliver many of our services. We will continue to have close contact with all parties and key priorities are to continue to contribute to the national and local health and wellbeing agenda and demonstrate our importance in delivering health and wellbeing outcomes within the community. South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture Business Plan 2016/17 5

2. Integrated Delivery of Services Pilot - South Lanarkshire Lifestyle Fairhill Health Impact Assessment From April 2015 SLLC adopted a new framework of operational management for all SLLC services hosted at Fairhill. The primary focus of implementing this framework is to assist in moving beyond physical co-location to fully integrating services which will be achieved through increased partnership working (internal and external) whilst also raising awareness of the facility within the local community. It is also intended that this new framework will improve communication and co-ordination between partners; provide increased opportunities to access pooled knowledge and resources as well as the opportunity to be more service user focused. A manager has been appointed to oversee the daily operations of the facility and all associated services delivered by SLLC. Budgets which were previously allocated to the individual services are now operating under a pooled budget to ensure improved collaborative working between services. A data collation/scoping exercise will be carried out in 2016 for both South Lanarkshire and the Fairhill community, details of which will be shared with Integrated Health and Social Care partners to provide information which highlights the health inequalities across South Lanarkshire and specifically within the local area of Fairhill. It is anticipated that this information will enable SLLC to review health initiatives/projects currently delivered in the Fairhill area. This scoping exercise is an opportunity to ensure that our combined leisure and cultural provision and deployment of resources has the optimum impact in terms of health inequalities and encouraging more physical activity. It will also set out clear objectives for informing and shaping the future programming of SLLC health interventions within the Fairhill area. 3. Service Review SLC is conducting a full review of SLLC. The review has a savings outcome to achieve however the other aims of the review are to define the services to be delivered on SLC s behalf by SLLC and to ensure that SLLC s delivery of services is providing value for money to SLC. Investment to ensure successful delivery of the services will be considered. The review s objectives are to: Gain a detailed understanding of the nature, scope and scale of SLLC services provided Clarify priorities of delivery Identify areas in provision where savings can be achieved Realise savings through more efficient and effective delivery Examine the savings requirements identified by SLC In addition to this the key aims/outcomes from the Service Review are: Service/operational The review will consider and report on all SLLC services and identify potential changes to delivery models and arrangements, including any changes to strategy as required. A benchmarking exercise will also be undertaken to allow comparisons with alternative examples of delivery and the identification of good practice. 6

Providing opportunities to enrich people s lives. Employees Ensure the most effective operational structure as a result of the review recommendations. The aim is to ensure that employees are working in the right places, targeting the right people, and linking to the right services to deliver the most effective service. Outcomes will be developed during the review. 4. Review of Service Level Agreements (SLA s) SLC and SLLC are developing a Memorandum of Understanding which will provide the detail of the agreements between us. Within the Memorandum of Understanding will be the details of the Service Level Agreements with each of the different sections of the Council that we procure services from. As the Memorandum of Understanding is a legal agreement between the parties, each of the SLA s will require review. This will be achieved by developing the current SLA s with our partners in SLC. This will represent a significant time resource as many of the current SLA s are not defined to the level required for the Memorandum of Understanding. Strong links have been maintained with internal departments of SLC and SLLC will continue to make use of all existing resources and services. In addition to the SLA s we have with SLC there are a number of agreements that we currently have with NHS Lanarkshire which will be affected by the implementation of the Health and Social Care Partnership. 5. Requirements for Capital Investment Although significant investment has been made by the Council in the assets managed by SLLC, a number of the facilities with the largest attendances and greatest variety are in need of significant investment with failure to invest resulting in unintended closures. In carrying out the Service Review the Council will take account of the Asset Discussion papers produced by the Property Investment Group and an investment plan will be required over short, medium and long term. 6. Workforce Planning Workforce planning is a key priority for the coming year and we will develop our strategy and action plan addressing: Lean staffing and management structures, ensuring we are operating efficiently and effectively in an ever changing environment An empowered front-line workforce, equipped with skills and knowledge necessary to deliver a seamless service A workforce able to operate flexibly, both in terms of meeting customer demand and across a range of service areas Maximising the potential of information technology and working in a modern and flexible way, with the business acumen to respond to changing demands The skills management we will need to operate in a supportive environment of encouraging employee engagement and looking after employee wellbeing South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture Business Plan 2016/17 7

Each specific area of our business will be supported to take stock of where they are now, where they need to get to and to set actions which will deliver the required change to the workforce. This will ensure our people are flexible and equipped to deliver now and in the future. 7. Information Governance In January 2016 the Information Commissioner gave a clear message that they expect all organisations to do more to protect the data they hold. At the end of 2015 we launched the Information Strategy and the Retention/Collection Transfer and Archiving Policies. It is imperative that the action plans are now implemented throughout SLLC. In addition the data cleansing which commenced during 2015 must continue and expand to ensure all data stored by SLLC is appropriate and secure. The table below outlines the internal structure of how SLLC will embed Information Governance into the culture of SLLC for all employees. Information Governance - Internal Structure Seeks approval from Internal and External Audits Where impinge on Information Strategy Group (ISG) Implements and monitors Strategies, Procedures and Improvement Plan Information Governance passed to Reports to for approval of developed policies Information Working Group (IWG) Represented on Each Service Area 8

Providing opportunities to enrich people s lives. 8. Social Media Advertising, promotion and customer engagement through social media continues to expand both in use and importance. The implementation of the Social Media Strategy requires staff resources but provides cost effective promotional tools in a forum customers are familiar and comfortable with. We will achieve this by: Identifying team representatives who hold the required expertise and enthusiasm for social media Cascading our Social Media Strategy to ensure everyone is aware of what we want to accomplish with social media Developing content strategy for each service including when we are introducing new technology pilots Providing and cascading monthly stats to ensure there is a continued awareness on social media Continuing to develop our strategy and content using analytics to guide us and ensure we continually adapt to the ever changing technologies and trends Engaging with our community, become part of their society, analyse response and develop content based on engagement External consultation with experts in social media South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture Business Plan 2016/17 9

9. Competition The arrival of budget gyms in June 2014 has produced a new and unprecedented level of competition for a part of our income that previously represented 25% of the total income of SLLC. This income has seen a near 30% reduction, as highlighted previously, and the competition is set to increase further over the 2016/17 period. In tackling this competition the products, service and customer journey will all be reviewed and honed. Alternative income streams are also being developed, e.g. ACE products and new birthday party packages in tandem with methods of increasing income from other traditional streams, such as swimming lessons. The Golden Thread The Business Plan is a vital part of the golden thread which links, national, local, corporate and community objectives through to individual Performance Development Reviews (PDRs) so that each staff member knows how what they do contributes to achieving SLLC s objectives. Consequently, in representing the overall business objectives agreed between SLC and SLLC, this document outlines the priorities and actions required to achieve specific goals in line with South Lanarkshire s Single Outcome Agreement, the Community Plan Stronger Together and the Council Plan, Connect. THE Golden Thread - Measured The Outcome Delivery Plan outlined in this Business Plan highlights a number of actions and measures which contribute to SLLC s objectives and which link directly in to the Council s Community Plan, Council Plan (Connect), Community and Enterprise Resources Plan (CERP). These are as follows and are reported through IMPROVe on a quarterly basis. Achieve 3.1m attendances at those facilities managed by the Sport and Physical Activity section of SLLC Maintain number of attendances per 1,000 population for swimming pools Maintain number of attendances per 1,000 population for other indoor sports and leisure facilities, excluding pools in a combined complex Maintain number of attendances at outdoor recreation and country parks at 2.14m Achieve 0.87m under 16 attendances at facilities maintained by South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture (includes halls, school lets, outdoor and indoor leisure) Increase the numbers of over 60 s registering with the Activage scheme Increase numbers of over 60 s using South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture facilities Maintain 2015/16 level of visitors to SLLC cultural venues Achieve 3440 visits to libraries per 1,000 population Increase number of visits to/usages of council funded or part funded museums per 1,000 population Increase number of these visits that were in person per 1,000 population Target achieved for customer satisfaction of 95% Target achieved for customer satisfaction (results from Scottish Household Survey) 10

Providing opportunities to enrich people s lives. The following agreed priorities will be delivered over the period 1 April 2016 to 31 March 2017. These should be viewed within the context that both the financial position and the Key Themes have the capacity to affect our ability to deliver the Plan. Priorities 2016/17 These are priorities to be achieved during 2016/17 in order to best deliver our services to the community. All these priorities will be measured as part of the Outcome Delivery Plan.

Providing opportunities to enrich people s lives. Outcome Delivery Plan Four strategic objectives provide the focus for SLLC s activities. This section provides an overview of these objectives and the main actions we will undertake in achieving them. It also lists the key themes within the Community Plan and the Council Plan to which each objective relates. The Outcome Delivery Plan will be used for monitoring and evaluation purposes. Each action shows what will be done in the achievement of SLLC s objectives, what each action aims to achieve in the longer term and who is responsible. In many instances there is more than one person responsible for the action and in these cases a lead officer is identified. The Outcome Delivery Plan is detailed, but given the range of activity across SLLC, it is not an exhaustive list of everything we undertake. More comprehensive action plans are contained in Our Focus and the Marketing Plan. These plans cascade to facility and section levels. The Outcome Delivery Plan will be monitored regularly and a Quarterly Performance Report presented to the SLLC Board, in addition regular performance reports are also submitted to SLC. An Annual Report is also produced which contains information on SLLC s performance for stakeholders and the general public.
