| Summary: | This document is intended to assist local authorities in England and Wales who are interested in forming local strategic partnerships (LSPs) with the community and voluntary sectors. Section 1 presents the following guidelines for LSPs when developing a community strategy to meet local priorities: (1) have each local area prepare a plan to improve community cohesion; (2) prepare a communication strategy that enables community cohesion plans to be articulated; and (3) draw up a communications strategy that ensures fuller understanding of the LSP's programs and priorities. Section 2 discusses the following aspects of developing an inclusive LSP: (1) community development and participation and involving Black and minority ethnic communities; (2) defining the voluntary and community sectors and understanding their impact; (3) working with the voluntary and community sectors; (4) the voluntary and community sector infrastructure; and (5) other mechanisms for involvement in LSPs; and (6) decision making and executive bodies. Section 3 explains why council members should be involved in LSPs, and Section 4 presents guidelines for working with the community and voluntary sectors in the 88 areas that are eligible for the Neighborhood Renewal Fund. Six case studies and a list of six contact organizations and three recommended publications are included. (MN) |
