Recognising that no single organisation can deliver all aspects of the health improvement agenda, a Council committed to working with key partners to achieve success will have features that include:
- The Council acknowledges what it can deliver best (now and in the future) and where other agencies responsibilities and expertise begin
- Strong local strategic and operational partnerships deliver tangible and sustainable improvements in health and well-being, based on the shared vision for the locality in the Community Strategy and Health, Social Care & Well-being Strategy
- The Council prioritises partnerships with the communities it represents, building on existing collaborations for Health, Social Care and Well-being
- There is mutual trust and accountability within partnerships, with contributions, risks and rewards shared equitably
