The LHS Steering Group will monitor the Strategy on an ongoing basis. This Group will meet on a quarterly basis and be chaired by North Lanarkshire Council's Housing and Social Work Services. This Group will in turn report progress through the community planning structure to the North Lanarkshire Partnership.
The monitoring and reviewing of the Strategy will be linked to the ongoing evaluation of existing and planning of new services. A detailed monitoring framework is contained in the Action Plans. In addition the monitoring and evaluation of related planning documents such the Supporting People Plan, Tenant Participation Strategy and Homelessness Strategy will also complement the monitoring process. Progress on implementation of the Strategy will be reported to the respective service committees of the Council.
A comprehensive evaluation framework has been developed and is set out in Appendix 7. This will show how good the Strategy's impact has been with the measurement of key outcomes. The planning process and Strategy impact will be independently evaluated at the end of year three of the Strategy.
To provide information and encourage accountability, North Lanarkshire Council shall produce an Annual Review Report that will outline progress in the implementation of Strategy and an update of the market analysis, key issues and investment priorities.
Further consideration will be given to the ongoing involvement of key stakeholders, particularly the public and registered social landlords, in the monitoring, review and evaluation of the Strategy. The Council is in the process of developing a corporate consultation strategy that will assist in this process.
