DRAFT 1
Assets and Impact: or Impact and Assets
12-13 June 2013
Overall Away Days aim: to build our School and Partner core team for imaginative, aspirational, bold delivery of the School of Health and Life Sciences strategy ‘Toward 2020’.
School 2020 Aim: to use our assets in education, research, practice and exchange to work increative partnerships to redress health and social inequalities.
Foundations of School Aim: Assets based approaches to health improvement work actively with the values, skills, knowledge, connections and potential in our communities. Compared to the ‘deficits’ or ‘treatment’ approach to the delivery of public services, they promote capacity, connectedness and social capital. To move to an assets based approach as an integral part of the delivery of health and wellbeing requires a change in individual and organisational attitudes, values and practices. It requires redressing the balance between meeting needs and nurturing the strengths and resources of people and communities to help embed a sense of empowerment. Such an approach is complementary to traditional health interventions.
