Key Achievements Principles and key components are now part of Midlothian Councils service review, service planning and competency framework. The small Kick Start Fund has generated significant interest, which will further grow community capacity building and co- production approaches within Midlothian. 4 governance international training sessions have been held with over 100 staff and partners being trained in community capacity building and co-production. This has significantly increased the awareness of the potential for community capacity building and co-production. 54 individual action plans for taking forward community capacity building and co- production have been written by staff and partners. Approximately 50% of those attending the training developed an action plan for future community capacity building and or co-production work. 31 of the 44 actions in the community capacity building and co-production action plans have been completed. 70.4% completion rate to date
