About the Barking and Dagenham Partnership
‘Working together for a better borough'
The Barking and Dagenham Partnership brings together all those who want to make Barking and Dagenham a better place to live, study, work, play and visit.
The Barking and Dagenham Partnership was set up in 2001 to work together to provide a coordinated strategic approach to delivering services, and improving the quality of life for local people and communities in the borough.
It brings together the Council, health services, police and fire service, working with local businesses, representatives of the voluntary and community sector and members of the local community.
The Partnership is a non-statutory and non executive organisation, but includes the statutory Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (Barking and Dagenham’s Safer Borough Board) as required by the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and the Children's Trust, set up as a result of the Children's Act 2004, and made statutory in 2005
The role of the partnership is to oversee the implementation of the Local Area Agreement and the realisation of the Borough's 2020 vision set out in the Community Plan
Our Partnership Vision
The vision of the Barking and Dagenham Partnership is ‘Working together for a better borough’.
We are working to six Community Priorities to ensure that everybody can live, work and thrive in a borough that is
Safe,
Clean,
Fair and respectful,
Prosperous and
Healthy,
and where our young people are inspired and successful.'
Partnership Boards
The structure of the partnership consists of the Public Service Board which oversees the delivery of six themed sub-groups
The themed boards are each responsible for a number of National Indicators as stated in our Local Area Agreement, as well as strategic programmes of work by developing policy and strategy in response to government initiatives.
The six themed boards are
- Children's Trust Board
- Clean, Green and Sustainable Borough Board
- Health and Wellbeing Board
- Community Safety Partnership (incorporating the statutory Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership)
- Skills, Jobs and Enterprise Board (New Board – details to follow)
- Stronger Borough Board
Additional support is also provided by a range of delivery units (organisational services and task groups) and strategic resources including the Policy and Partnerships Team
