| Publication name: | Promoting health improvement and tackling health inequalities: Local authorities perspectives - Evaluation of a pack for trainers |
| Description: | Evaluation study of a training pack devised to support capacity building efforts at local authority level, aimed at promoting and delivering the Health Improvement (HI) agenda. This work stems from the vision set out in the strategic document, ‘Local Authorities as Health Improvement Organisations', COSLA, 2002. The rationale behind this paper concerns the need to view HI as an agenda for joint delivery through a range of organisations and agencies, and the specific role which local authorities can undertake. The study was commissioned through a joint project by COSLA and the Health Education Board for Scotland (HEBS). The training pack – for delivery over one day - was tested and evaluated with seven local authority sites, through exploring trainers' and senior managers' perceptions of the pack at pre- and post-training stages. Specific areas for exploration included views on the content and layout of the training pack, as well as recommendations for improvement. More strategic areas for exploration included how the pack could be rolled out across local settings for sustainability and whether co-training partnerships would support successful delivery of the pack, as well as supporting its future sustainability. |
