Strategic Partnerships

A number of cross-agency strategic groups have been designated responsibility by the Board for particular priorities; implementing actions to achieve these and undertaking detailed monitoring. This section provides an overview of the main partnerships (their remits, memberships and structures) involved in community planning in Shetland. A contact name is given for each of the listed partnerships if you wish further more detailed information.

These groups report to the Board on progress against targets; and provide detail about specific issues, good practice and where the Board could assist with progress. This enables the Board to establish an overall view across Shetland and assess whether any advice or action is required by the Board to ensure activity is amended, progressed or halted. At times, this will require the Board to work together to find solutions to problems and to difficulties occurring between partner agencies. Agencies and organisations are widely represented on these strategic groups, which act as umbrellas for a range of other groups. These groups are responsible, along with specific agencies, for initiating and monitoring actions to achieve community planning priorities.
