Solihull Partnership Priorities
Solihull Council is a key member of the Solihull Partnership. Following a detailed review of a range of initiatives, the Solihull Partnership has identified 11 key priorities which support our vision for an equal chance for all in Solihull.
- Economic Growth;
- Worklessness;
- Alignment of 14-19 Education Strategy to Future Jobs and Skills Needs;
- Housing Stress;
- Engaged, Involved and Inclusive Communities;
- Volunteering;
- Fear of Crime and Anti Social Behaviour;
- Keeping Children Safe from Harm;
- Best Start in Life for Children;
- Ill Health Prevention; and
- Substance Misuse (Drugs and Alcohol).
The prioritisation process recognised that these priorities require a multi-agency response to make a significant improvement in narrowing inequalities experienced by some people living in Solihull. All priorities have undergone an assessment against fair treatment and sustainability to proactively promote a positive contribution to equality, diversity and the environment through reducing carbon and responding to climate change.
The Partnership has agreed to have a particular focus on youth unemployment, domestic violence and families facing multiple problems who may be in need of services from a number of partner agencies.
The Partnership will be drawing up commissioning plans to address these priorities. For further information on the Solihull Partnership, please see: http://www.solihull.gov.uk/solihullpartnership/default.htm
