Partnership working – a brief history

• Pre 2000 – functional/issue/geographical or to access

funding

• LGA 2000 – statutory duty to prepare a Community

Strategy with partners which led to the creation of LSPs.

• LSPs given the job of developing Local Area

Agreements and had Area Based Grant to spend

• Statutory and non-statutory partnerships covering

‘themes’

Police and Crime Commissioners

Agreed Principles of joint working (2012)

• The view of shared services is not consistent within
• rganisations or between organisations – only a

compelling case driven by market forces will overcome this.

• Delivering shared services requires considerable energy

and organisational capacity therefore smaller organisations will operate to their own timescale and priorities.

• Consistency of approach across a wider area e.g. a county

solution can be a challenging aim and in most cases too challenging and possibly unnecessary. Shared service partnerships made up of willing partners are easier to deliver and are the stronger for it.

Joint Working

Agreed Principles of joint working (2012) (continued)

• Organisations engage in shared services when it suits their
• wn business plans.
• Attempts to push a shared services agenda without recognising

these principles will ‘scare the horses’ and fail.

• Successful shared services can be built upon and these

may offer solutions to other partners over time.

• Where possible shared services should look to accept new

partners.

• When considering options for service commissioning,
• rganisations should maintain awareness of existing shared

service partnerships. These should be given consideration as

• ptions where appropriate.

Joint Working (continued)
