Salford Strategic Partnership
The city council works with a range of different organisations to 'create the best possible quality of life for the people of Salford'. One of the key partnerships of which we are a member is Partners IN Salford, the local strategic partnership (LSP) for the city.
Partners IN Salford brings together people from the city's public, private, education, community, voluntary and faith sectors. These people work closely together to ensure that all of Salford's citizens have an equal chance to thrive and to transform Salford into a great city.
Members of Partners IN Salford come from the city's public, private, education, community and voluntary sectors. We work together to ensure that all of Salford's citizens have an equal chance to thrive.
Our vision, which is published in Connecting People to Opportunities, our sustainable community strategy, is:
"In 2024, Salford will be a beautiful and welcoming city, driven by energetic and engaged communities of highly skilled, healthy and motivated citizens, who have built a diverse and prosperous culture and economy which encourages and recognises the contribution of everyone, for everyone."
The partnership has agreed two sets of priority objectives and actions for 2011 to 2014. Worklessness, child poverty, health and community safety are recognised as the most critical for Salford and these will be tracked on a quarterly basis. There is also a set of cross-cutting priority objectives and actions that will be monitored annually.
How we work
Our partnership has five important components:
- Partnership Forum
- Partnership Executive
- Salford Place Board
- Thematic Partnerships
- Neighbourhood management structures
The Partnership Forum meets as an annual conference in January or February. This looks at the big issues facing the city and decides what the partnership will focus on in the coming months. A Forum Core Group provides ongoing support to the executive.
The Partnership Executive meets four times a year to track progress against the partnership's priority objectives and actions. They make sure that our activities are making a real difference to the city.
Salford Place Board is currently concentrating on delivering the Greater Manchester Better Life Chances pilots in Broughton/Cheetham (jointly with Manchester), Little Hulton and Winton.
Thematic partnerships work towards the seven themes of the sustainable community strategy and are responsible for delivering solutions for our priority objectives and actions.
Our aims
- To bring organisations together, give them a common voice, and agree aims, objectives and priorities
- To improve public services to make them more responsive to local communities
- To agree ways to narrow the gap between levels of deprivation in Salford and the rest of the country, and also to narrowing the deprivation gap within Salford itself
- To develop more simple partnership working for programmes and initiatives
A list of members of Partners IN Salford can be found on the partnership website.
