4 25 INTRODUCTION CALCULATOR OF COSTS OF INACTION MODEL Fig. 1. Diagram of the CCI Model THE CCI MODEL IS A SET OF SOCIAL POLICY INSTRUMENTS WHICH ARE DEFINED AS TOOLS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ACTIONS IN THE AREA OF SOCIAL POLICY, which, in turn, can be classified by the type of resources used and the use of knowledge into legal, economic, information, personnel, and environment-shaping (institutional) instruments ^ x x x ^ x12 451x x(12-6x33+4) 3x45/ / x8x x20^ ^2/2x(23-8)^2 46+ x(34^3-12) 3x3-5/ x12^2-451x /4 5x5x x / /15-322x20x x20^2 The CCI Model consists of six independent tools which, however, need to be used together as this is essential for the Model to function successfully for the purposes of pursuing a proactive social policy. If costs are your starting point, you may want to use the Social Calculator first. If you need to plan a solution to the social problems in your area, the Catalogue of Social Innovation might be useful to begin with. If you are looking for people who want changes in the local community, Social Innovation Leaders are the preferred first point of contact. Diffuser of Social Innovation has been designed for those who want to know more about social policy and how it is implemented it contains a set of up-to-date publications, reports, studies, and other papers. Support planning requires strategic thinking and scheduling if you want to design and implement a change, it is best to use the Strategy Generator, which will not only help prepare a poviat/municipal strategy for solving social problems, but will also facilitate updates, monitoring and evaluation as well as preparation of a performance budget for projects. This Guidance Package compiles information on the tools included in the CCI Model. 1 Source: Strategia wdrażania projektu innowacyjnego Kalkulator Kosztów Zaniechania [Strategy of implementing the CCI Model innovation project], Sempruch G., MCPS, 2013

5 GENERAL INFORMATION The is an educational programme regarding practical implementation of the new method of pursuing a proactive social policy based on the model developed in the CCI Model project. The purpose of the is to provide the users of the tools designed for pursuing a proactive social policy with the knowledge and skills that are necessary to realise the full potential of the products and with support and assistance at every stage of development and implementation of strategy of solving social problems in municipalities and poviats of the Masovian Voivodeship. The is a professional and comprehensive educational product which trains future innovators of proactive social policies and assists in managing the tasks of a municipality. The CCI Model provides not only IT tools to facilitate the calculating of costs of inaction and to create a social problem solving strategy document, but also, through the System Training, gives the possibility to train Social Innovation Leaders and users of tools (mainly local authorities which have an impact on important issues concerning the activities of the municipality), who know how to apply the CCI Model and use the knowledge and skills acquired during training for the common good of society. A participant in the follows a three-step education path which enables them to effectively use the tools offered by the Calculator of Costs of Inaction Model and to contribute to the implementation of a proactive social policy: 1.

6 25 A. TRAINING The training programme which has been developed on the basis of many studies, tests, and the opinions of specialists, trainers and the participants themselves, is a professional educational tool addressed to the persons involved in the implementation of the CCI Model for a proactive social policy. In testing the product, we paid special attention to cooperation with experienced teaching staff. Trainers with years of experience in social economy training/couching and raising funds for projects implemented by municipalities and equipped with the relevant soft skills (team management, leadership building) were additionally trained in the innovative solutions of the Costs of Inaction Model to be fully prepared to convey that knowledge to participants in a highly professional manner. The group of trainers has been trained by experienced instructors with knowledge of fundraising for governmental and non-governmental activities, creating financial plans, formulating tasks of municipalities in the field of social policy, and creating strategies for social problem solving. The trainers have been prepared to teach two groups of people: 1. Social Innovation Leaders, and 2. Users of the Calculator of Costs of Inaction Model. Test training for Social Innovation Leaders and CCI Model users has enabled the creation of an effective training method ^ x x x ^ x12 451x x(12-6x33+4) 3x45/ / x8x x20^ ^2/2x(23-8)^2 46+ x(34^3-12) 3x3-5/ x12^2-451x /4 5x5x x / /15-322x20x x20^2 Our programme develops subject-specific competencies, knowledge of the new way of pursing a proactive social policy by municipalities and districts, and the ability to use the CCI Model tools.

The platform provides access to: learning materials related to social policies and the CCI Model, publications on the CCI Model and activities related to social assistance. The interactive component functionality makes it easier to work on the online platform, and knowledge quizzes enable verification and consolidation of one s information on the CCI Model. After completing a course, an e-learning training participant takes a multiple choice test. Each platform user who succeeds at completing the test can generate and print a course completion certificate on the platform. The primary purposes of the platform is, therefore, to prepare users to take activation measures in the local community, using the CCI Model, and to consolidate the information learned about proactive social policy.

8 25 In additional to its educational and informational mission, the platform also ensures sustainability of the actions undertaken in the project and is a venue for the dissemination of proactive attitudes. C. ADVICE AND CONSULTATION Users of the CCI Model will be given the possibility to receive professional advice from experts in social economy and law. Specialist consultancy will be provided with respect to the preparation and updating of the concept itself as regards the use of project products (the Calculator and the Diffuser of Social Innovation) in relation to the individual needs of the municipality/poviat. The consultancy involves analysis of documents in terms of implementation of CCI Model products. Implementation consultancy is addressed to those involved in developing local social policies, interested in using the CCI Model tools, and responsible for the creation of the Strategy of Social Problem Solving ^ x x x ^ x12 451x x(12-6x33+4) 3x45/ / x8x x20^ ^2/2x(23-8)^2 46+ x(34^3-12) 3x3-5/ x12^2-451x /4 5x5x x / /15-322x20x x20^2

13 USERS OF THE TOOL The educational programme has been developed for future users of the tools offered by the Calculator of Costs of Inaction Model, with particular emphasis on those participating in the creation of municipal and poviat Strategies of Social Problem Solving (CCI Model users) and the Network of Social Innovation Leaders (NSIL). All educational activities are directed at local communities. The strategy developed in the Calculator of Costs of Inaction project focuses on two target groups of key importance due to their particular role in promoting a proactive social policy. The first are members of teams involved in the creation of municipal/poviat Strategies of Social Problem Solving in accordance with the Calculator of Costs of Inaction Model, including in particular: 1. councillors, commune heads, mayors, and poviat governors, 2. managers and staff of social welfare institutions, 3. local government employees, 4. representatives of public and private institutions for social policy, 4x x8x95-5/4 5x5x x ) 14x3 16x x8 4 5x5x / /25x(12+3) 92-43x /21^5 4x x ^2-14x3 16x3x45 6 6x5x56/ x ^ x(23-8)^ /25 5. local communities. The second group are Social Innovation Leaders elected in municipalities and poviats (who are also involved in the creation of municipal/poviat Strategies of Social Problem Solving in accordance with the Calculator of Costs of Inaction Model).
