What is the Partnership Board?
South Lakeland Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) has recently
completed a review of its priorities and arrangements for
delivering them. The LSP Executive confirmed its commitment to
working in partnership but agreed changes were necessary. The board
clearly recognised that any new approach to partnerships had to
support the Localism agenda. The partnership also clearly
recognised the necessity to link to the emerging the Local Enterprise Partnership and
the Health & Well-being Board.
The partnership will work as the One South Lakeland Partnership
Board and is a new approach to partnership working involving key
organisations across South Lakeland with an increased focus and
improved efficiencies.
The new approach will have greater emphasis on
‘locality working’, with a focus on empowering and building
capacity within communities to enable them to do more themselves
and by working in partnership with each other.
These new arrangements will provide more
flexible partnership working to deliver the key actions and
reducing the number of static groups in favour of ‘Task
and Finish’ groups. Opportunities will be created for
community and partner representatives to take part in the work of
these groups. The work of the Task and Finish Groups will be
monitored by the One South Lakeland Partnership Board.
