CAP aims to pioneer new, effective, inclusive, appropriate and responsive forms of organisation and management that are consistent with our community development ethos and changing environment.

Objectives

CAP is committed to developing new and responsive management structures. Theses new structures might have a number of different elements including committees/support groups attached to each "Theme Area" of work. We have developed such groups around Theme Areas of work over the last 3 years, i.e. Drugs Policy Working Groups and the Regeneration Strategy Groups, by inviting members of other organisations relevant to this work to be part of these groups and this has worked well.

CAP will continue to have a core Management Committee, including the Staff Team, to handle day-to-day decisions and key management tasks including staffing, terms of employment, staff supervision, etc.

CAP will continue to ensure adequate participation of local people in our evolving management structures. Any new structure will remain flexible to the changing needs of the Programme and the local area.

CAP is committed to ensuring that ongoing internal and external evaluation remain key elements of the management of the Programme.

CAP aims to employ sufficient staff to carry out its Programme and to continue to develop and promote models of good employment practice.

CAP will continue to ensure that staff are provided with opportunities for career and skills development through in-service training as appropriate.

CAP will produce an "Employment Policy Statement" outlining all areas of good employment practice and will actively promote its adoption by other community-based organisations.

CAP will continue to develop and implement appropriate staff supervision mechanisms.
