LOCAL STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP (LSP)

What is an LSP?

A Local Strategic Partnership (LSPs) is a single non-statutory, multi-agency body, which matches local authority boundaries, and aims to bring together at a local level the different parts of the public, private, community and voluntary sectors.
LSPs are key to tackling deep seated, multi-faceted problems, requiring a range of responses from different bodies. Local partners working through a LSP will be expected to take many of the major decisions about priorities for their local area.

Why do we have a Local Strategic Partnership?

Lack of joint working at local level has been one of the key reasons for lack of progress in delivering sustainable economic, social and physical regeneration, or improved public services, that meets the needs of local people. A combination of organisations, and the community, working co-operatively as part of an LSP will have a far greater chance of success.

To achieve these improvements, the Government, local authorities and other service providers need to work co-operatively, change the ways they work, reallocate resources and 'bend' their mainstream programmes to tackle issues that really matter to local people.

One Barnsley is the name of the Local Strategic Partnership for our area

Barnsley is on the brink of momentous change. Our 2020 vision is for Barnsley to be a successful, uniquely distinctive 21st century market town at the centre of a borough that offers prosperity and opportunity for all.'

Cllr Stephen Houghton, Chair of One Barnsley

Issues Surrounding health and well being for people in Barnsley

The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) identifies "the big picture" issues around health and well being for people in Barnsley. It pulls together into one place all the best available information regarding assessment of the current and future health and well-being needs of the Barnsley population.

The concept of a JSNA has been introduced in the recent Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill. It is an important part of the new duty to collaborate for local authorities and primary care trusts (PCTs). Whilst recognising the important thrust of Government policy towards personalised services and care, the JSNA is a tool to identify groups whose needs are not being met and who are experiencing poor outcomes.

Responsibility for producing the JSNA lies with the Director of Public Health, Director of Adult Social Services and Director of Children, Young People and Families.
