Report of Managing Director

The Managing Director submitted a report (previously circulated) presenting the outcome of the annual review of significant partnerships to enable this Committee to consider the partnerships that the Council was involved with and to ensure that they had adequate governance arrangements in place.

It was reported that, through the principles of the partnership toolkit, the Council had an established approach to monitoring the significant partnerships it was involved with and, as a result, there were good governance arrangements in place for these partnerships and that they were delivering well against their objectives.

It was also reported that the toolkit had been effective in identifying high level concerns of the significant partnerships, the most common of which were levels of resourcing, uncertainty as a result of the emerging policy and fundamental changes in operating landscape.

RESOLVED – That the review of significant partnerships be endorsed and the actions being taken to address outstanding issues be noted.
