Notice Title

Developing the Sandwell Story and the Sandwell Strategic Partnership

Notice Description

Developing the Sandwell Story and the Sandwell Strategic Partnership Ref: CCS 001 In the early 2000s, Sandwell had a local strategic partnership as was statutory for all local authorities at the time. This partnership developed a vision and a Sandwell Plan to guide partnership working and had a series of thematic groups sitting beneath it, leading on each aspect of the vision. A partnership director and their team supported these arrangements. As the statutory requirement to have an LSP was taken away, this form of strategic partnership was dismantled (c.2009). In its place, separate thematic strategic partnerships continued (only those that were statutory) and the coherence of a single local strategic partnership was lost. In 2015/16 work started to develop the current Vision 2030. This was developed in collaboration with the different thematic statutory partnerships and extensive consultation and engagement with other partners, staff, young people, residents and the voluntary/community sector took place. Vision 2030 was adopted as the vision for Sandwell in 2017. The vision is made up of 10 ambitions - five ambitions relating to Sandwell's people and five relating to Sandwell, the place. No overall ownership of the Sandwell Vision was vested with any single partnership and subsequent political changes has meant that Vision 2030 drifted out of focus with partners.
