Overall response

Options 1.No change 2.Existing Partnership takes the Lead 3.New ‘City Partnership’

Option 1: No Change Partnership Forum Salford Place Board Partnership Executive Health & Wellbeing Board Community Safety Partnership Children & Young People ’ s Trust Think Skills & Work Think City Neighbourhood Arrangements Adult Safeguarding Board Strategic Housing Partnership Safeguarding Children Board

Option 2: Existing Partnership takes the Lead Eg, Health and Wellbeing Board Strengths: Bodies are already in existence. Reduces the number of meetings and some duplication. Legal entities with some statutory reporting duties already in place. Weaknesses: Over burden the partnership with issues outside their remit. Membership will need to be reviewed to ensure there is a city wide perspective. Community and business sector engagement will need to be improved. Could result in overly complex arrangements, this is a national concern for the evolving Health and Wellbeing Boards.

Option 3: City Partnership Principles Builds on good practice Construct to assist the City Mayor Space for partners to come together Focuses on the City Plan, vision and priorities Better coordination and reduced fragmentation Reduces duplication and costs Improves community engagement and involvement Action led Performance management against agreed outcomes Platform for better Private Sector involvement Links with Greater Manchester and beyond
