About Highland Community Planning Partnership

What Is The Highland Community Planning Partnership?

The Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 sets out the direction for Community Planning in Scotland, lists the public authorities which take part and places duties on them.   

Community Planning is a process which helps public agencies to work together and with the community to plan and deliver better services which make a real difference to people’s lives.  Tackling inequalities is a specific focus. 

The public authorities listed in the Act form a Community Planning Partnership for each local authority area across Scotland.  The Community Planning Partnership (CPP) for this area is the Highland Community Planning Partnership, also known as the Highland CPP, HCPP, or CPP.  A number of the partners involved in the HCPP are shown below.
