How are the Community Strategy and Local Area Agreement
developed?
The Community Strategy, titled 'The Future of Our Community', is
an over arching statement of priorities in the local area for the
organisations and sectors involved in the Kensington and Chelsea
Partnership. It draws on other more detailed plans and strategies
that are developed within these organisations and provides some
headline goals which the Partnership wants to achieve within the
next ten years. The strategy is developed by consulting each of the
organisations within the Partnership, local residents and
businesses in the borough to determine what the headline goals
should be, and to identify detailed aims and objectives which will
help to deliver these goals.
The Community Strategy is accompanied by 'A Picture of Our
Community', which contains detailed research, facts and figures
that support the headline goals. The strategy is also accompanied
by a delivery plan, titled 'Delivering for Our Community', which
shows specific performance indicators against each of the aims and
objectives within the strategy that will track the progress towards
meeting the headline goals.
The Local Area Agreement is known as a set of targets which show
how the Partnership is delivering it’s priorities in the local
area. In Kensington and Chelsea, the Local Area Agreement is
'Delivering for Our Community', since this is the delivery plan for
the Community Strategy which sets out the Partnership’s priorities
in the local area. 'Delivering for Our Community' consists of
‘designated targets’, which are those targets the Partnership
negotiated with Government and ‘local targets’, which are those
targets partners negotiated amongst themselves. As with the
community strategy, 'Delivering for Our Community' was developed by
consulting each of the organisations within the Partnership to
determine what measures should be used to track progress in
delivering the Community Strategy.
The Partnership will publish an annual progress report against
the indicators in 'Delivering for Our Community', and will review
those targets negotiated with Government every six months. The
Partnership will review the Community Strategy in three years time
to make sure that the headline goals still represent current
priorities.
The most recent versions of 'The Future of Our Community' and 'A
Picture of Our Community' were published in December 2008.
'Delivering for Our Community' was published in April 2009. All
publications, including previous Community Strategies and the first
Local Area Agreement, can be viewed on the Publications and documents page.
