The Essex Partnership is the LSP for Essex, a working relationship between representatives of organisations who deliver services to the public across Essex. It directs and oversees progress on the Essex Strategy and the Local Area Agreement.

Member organisations include: all local authorities (county, district, town and parish councils); police; fire service; health trusts; academic institutions; private, community and voluntary bodies.

There are six thematic partnerships within the Essex partnership, you can view them from the front page or use the links below:

All partnerships are represented on the Performance Management Group.

There are 12 District LSPs in Essex that have developed their own sustainable community strategies. Each community strategy is unique to the area that it covers, although there are often issues that are common to all. It is important that the Essex Partnership works closely with the district LSPs and other partnerships, such as those in the growth areas, to ensure we complement each other’s work and do not duplicate effort.

 

The Essex Partnership Forum (EPF)

EPF is the over-arching partnership body for Essex, with representation from all statutory public sector partners and from the Private and Third sectors, as explained in the Essex Cooperation Framework and chaired by Pam Challis, Leader of Castle Point Borough Council.   It has over 100 members including 42 statutory partners to the LAA and the voluntary and business sector.

Essex Strategy and LAA objectives

The Essex Strategy is the Countywide Sustainable Community Strategy which the county council is required to prepare, in consultation with partners, as part of the Local Government Act 2000. It is an 'umbrella' document for the activities of all the key partners in Essex. It has been compiled from the views of Essex people and shows a vision of the sustainable development of Essex into the medium term future.  It provides a strategic steer to ensure the Essex Partnership vision is achieved.

The most important and urgent outcomes stated in the Essex Strategy, on which we need to deliver special focus over a three year period (2008-2011) feature in our Local Area Agreement. It represents a real agreement between partners and is designed to bring a step-change in the collective effectiveness of the whole public sector in Essex. The LAA focuses the activities of the local public sector and the community and voluntary sector on the needs of identified groups of service users and residents.
