Partnership Framework
Working together for a better Thanet
Partnership working is playing an increasingly
important role in effective modern local government activity.
To do this, we need to make sure that we are doing the right
things, in the right way, at the right time for the right people in
an open, honest and accountable manner.
The benefits of partnership working have been
the focus for many public, private, voluntary and community
organisations recently and the Council has in the past, played a
lead role in establishing and developing partnerships. A range of
issues have been identified that we need address to ensure that the
Council has a consistent and rigorous approach to partnership
working, so that we can get the full benefits from it. Clear
processes and procedures are necessary to enable us to deliver
services to our residents efficiently, effectively and
properly with our partners.
The new system of Comprehensive Area
Assessment (CAA) being introduced by the government has identified
the importance of partnership working, and places stronger emphasis
on working with our partners, which we will be tested against. It
will focus on the effectiveness of the Council's approach to
political, managerial and community leadership, our focus on the
people who use our services and whether everyone can access them,
our achievements in our shared priorities, and delivering results
for our residents through partnership working.
