Who will make it happen

We in the Somerset Strategic Partnership are committed to this vision and its delivery. We wish to achieve a better, more equal and ‘greener’ Somerset, one that meets the aspirations of local people.  We are proud to put our names to the actions listed in this document.

 

We will regularly check on progress against the measures of success, and hold each other to account for underperformance and for the quality of the information provided.

 

More details of our plans will be included in our Business Plan each year. Each summer an Annual Report will publish our main achievements over the previous year.  We will include details of progress against every measure.

If we make any changes to the Strategy or to our measures we will include them in the Annual Report.  Copies will be available in all libraries, from all the partner organisations and on the website.
 
Our regular Newsletters will keep you in touch with the most important facts.


Who are we?
There are over 20 organisations represented in the Partnership from across the public, business and community and voluntary sectors. See the website for more information.

 

The SSP Forum
All SSP members attend the Forum meetings which are held twice a year. They provide direction and accountability to the work of the Partnership.  

 

The SSP Joint Board    
This Board brings together elected and non-elected leaders of accountable bodies to provide strategic direction, leadership and democratic accountability; to champion and provide commitment to change and improvement; and to promote a culture of partnership working.

 

The SSP Joint Implementation Team

This team is made up of Senior Responsible Officers / Somerset Theme Leaders from key delivery organisations and partnerships.  They co-ordinate high level planning and delivery across strategies and plans and manage progress.  They have a clear focus on themes and outcomes and are driven by a collective will to collaborate and innovate to drive improvement.

 

The Sub-Groups:   

These groups have representative from the organisations which deliver services within the specific areas of interest.  Members are responsible for delivering the Strategy's aims and actions and for monitoring performance against the measures of success.

 

 

Cross-cutting reference groups:

 

These groups support all the Sub-Groups and the aims, leading on issues of bringing people closer together, all aspects of culture and longer term planning for Somerset.
