WORKING OF THE LOCAL STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP – HILLINGDON PARTNERS: PLANS FOR FUTURE MEETINGS 1. The suggested theme for the next meeting on 22 November is that the Committee review the work of the Local Strategic Partnership in relation to the community and voluntary sector. 2. Key questions would be around the engagement of community and voluntary sector and accountability to the public. 3. Relevant to this are some of the initiatives described in the paper on the Working of Hillingdon Partners that was presented to the Committee’s last meeting (copy attached as annex A). This describes plans for rolling out Local Area Agreements and the new Neighbourhood Partnerships that went live in June this year. The latter have met monthly to deal with problems in Uxbridge and Hayes. The impact of these developments on partnership working and the work of the LSP could be explored. 4. Potential witnesses might be: 5. A representative from Hillingdon Association of Voluntary Service (HAVS) 6. A representative from Disablement Association Hillingdon (DASH) 7. A representative from Connecting Communities or a similar organisation involved with ethnic and faith communities. 8. A representative from a local Community Forum 9.
