4. Becoming an exemplar anchor institution - Anchor dimensions - Anchors progression framework - Community wealth building and anchor institutions - Economy and poverty - Social and economic impacts on health - Population health

This dimension helps organisations assess how far anchor action is embedded in leadership, strategy, culture, partnerships, decision-making and resource allocation.

'Becoming an exemplar anchor institution' focuses on how organisations can:

embed anchor action into organisational leadership, governance and strategy
reflect anchor commitments in values, culture, communications and corporate documents
consider how financial assets and resources can support local, social and community benefit
build strong partnerships with communities and other anchor institutions
share knowledge, data, resources and expertise with local organisations
collaborate and share learning beyond the local area

To assess your organisation against this dimension, download the progression tracker and full Anchors Progression Framework.

Organisations planning to use the Anchors Progression Framework are encouraged to contact the team by emailing PHS.anchors@phs.scot.

This will help Public Health Scotland understand how the framework is being used and identify any further support or improvements.
