LINks - How will they be set up?

Each local authority (with social services responsibilities) will receive a targeted grant from the Department of Health
Each local authority will procure a host organisation
The host will be responsible for the establishment, maintenance and support of a LINk in the local authority area
The LINk will operate independently of the local authority, within its own governance structure and decision making processes
The host will be accountable to the LINk

Who can be involved ?

LINks must be diverse–they must be able to represent all of the different groups and types of people that make up the local population.
User led organisations
Community and voluntary sector
Individuals
