  2. East Sussex Strategic Partnership2007/08 Annual Report

  3. What is ESSP? • A local strategic partnership (LSP) of around 80 organisations from the public, private and voluntary and community sectors: • East Sussex Assembly • Executive Board • Set up in 2000 to help organisations and individuals work together in a coordinated way to plan local services, tackle the issues that matter to local people, and improve quality of life in East Sussex • Responsible for developing and delivering: • A sustainable community strategy (SCS) • A Local Area Agreement (LAA) • Reports on our progress and performance • Leadership on countywide issues where no other appropriate organisation or partnership can be identified • One of six LSPs in the county

  4. What is our vision? • Our vision is to create places where everyone can prosper, be safe and healthy, and live in a high quality environment. • To achieve this vision, our long-term aims are to create and sustain: • A vibrant, diverse and sustainable economy • Great places to live in, visit and enjoy, and • Safe, healthy and fulfilling lives.

  5. What have we achieved this year? • Developed a new, integrated SCS in association with the District and Borough LSPs – the first of its kind in England • Delivered two years of the ‘old’ LAA – overcoming many challenges and achieving considerable success • Negotiated a new LAA with 33 priority areas for improvement and 65 different delivery partners • Improved communications and engagement including a re-designed website, monthly electronic news bulletins, events and publications • Launched a review of governance arrangements • Started focused work on migration and related data sharing • Delivered a programme of partnership development work with the District and Borough LSPs

  6. How have we achieved this? • Managed business effectively through the ESSP Executive Board • Consulted and worked with partners, other LSPs and the public on SCS development • Monitored LAA performance and encouraged improvement • Set up an LAA Project Board and Project Team to develop and negotiate the new LAA • Established and began implementation of an ESSP Communications and Engagement Plan • Established sub-groups on governance and migration • Implemented a ‘Progress through Partnership’ funded development programme

  7. What challenges have we faced? • Volume and scope of change: a new SCS, new LAA and new performance management framework • Performance: 56 (23%) of the 238 targets in the ‘old’ LAA have not been achieved (although 138 (58%) have!) • Data: the availability of timely or reliable data in some areas remains a problem for performance management and monitoring, and for negotiating the new LAA • Partnership working: has continued to develop but more could be done to develop partnership working – strategically and operationally • National impacts and policies: such as the introduction of the Local Housing Allowance, outside the control of local agencies, delaying the take up of claims • Communications and engagement: amongst partners, elected members and the wider public

  8. The year ahead • Developing action plan/s to deliver the SCS • Establishing and commencing a programme of SCS reviews to keep it relevant and ‘alive’ • Implementing and performance managing the new LAA and ‘stretch’ targets from the ‘old’ LAA • Strengthening data quality, performance and risk management • Further improvements to communications and engagement, including joint communications with District and Borough LSPs • Completion of the ESSP governance review – informed by the SCS action planning and review process • Further work on migration research • Improving support services to ESSP

  9. So what? ESSP creates an environment in which partnership working and collaboration can flourish: • Joins up service design and delivery in response to community needs and spots gaps i.e. the one stop shop planning that our residents expect to happen • Links neighbourhood to district/borough to county and beyond through the SCS • Enables organisations, agencies and partnerships to achieve more than the individual partners (or partnerships) could achieve alone • Compliments and enhances the work partners and elected members do • Leads and drives improvement and innovation through e.g. transforming service design and delivery, performance management • Brings the 'voice' of citizens to the LSP through elected members, consultation and strategy/service reviews • Delivers change efficiently by strengthening partnership working, pooling budgets and streamlining performance management systems

  10. What can you do? • Get involved in developing and delivering the SCS and its action plans – strategically and operationally • Attend Executive Board meetings – or keep track of what it is doing on your behalf by reading the board papers • Tell us what you, and those you represent and/or provide services to, want and what we can do to support and enhance your engagement with ESSP • Spread the word about what ESSP does amongst your staff, partners and service users • Keep us up to date on what you are doing: strategy reviews, consultations, service delivery • Share your information, knowledge, experience and achievements with others: participate in events, send us your news, case studies, publications, information on events
