Role & Accountability of the Main SIPSE Committee
SIPSE does not work directly with socially excluded people.
Its 'championing' consists of:
- Work it does itself (sometimes with partner organisations not represented around the SIPSE table)
- Work it encourages, supports and joins up carried out by individual organisations represented around the SIPSE table.
Role of the SIPSE Main Group
- to develop, implement/support the implementation of, monitor and evaluate its Business Plan
- to ensure it has and makes proper use of resources needed for implementation of the Business Plan
- to select and properly regulate its own membership and membership of its action groups
- in part through one of its member organisations, to recruit, induct, manage, support, monitor and evaluate its Project Manager
- to set up, develop, support, monitor and evaluate 3 time limited action groups.
- wherever possible, to encourage, support and join up relevant social inclusion work carried out by individual organisations represented around the SIPSE table
- in general, to ensure its work follows proper principles around continuous improvement, equalities and diversity, partnership, representation, accountability and transparency
Although it may call additional meetings, SIPSE's Main Group will carry out its role through standing agenda items for its quarterly meetings and an annual away day. Properly recorded and published agendas and minutes form the crucial part of SIPSE's audit trail.
Accountability of SIPSE
SIPSE is accountable to all its stakeholders, to all individuals and organisations that are or might be affected by its actions. While faced by very many organisations and all partnerships, this multiple accountability requires managing priorities. The complete Business Plan includes a table mapping against 4 key stakeholders possible means of accountability and comments.
