Issue - meetings

The HSP is required to submit a self-assessment in line with Government Office for London and NRU requirements for local strategic partnerships in receipt of NRF (report attached).

We noted that the self-assessment report is part of the performance management arrangements for Local Strategic Partnership’s in receipt of Neighbourhood Renewal Funding. We noted that the purpose of the self-assessment is to measure Haringey’s relative position in relation to the national floor targets and the performance of comparator boroughs. The Board was informed that the assessment documents were submitted to GOL pending discussion and approval at this meeting.

We were reminded that the self-assessment includes a traffic light rating for each of the outcome areas – Education, Health, Crime Liveability, Worklessness, and Partnership Working. On the Employment/Worklessness rating, the Vice Chair suggested that the rating of Amber-Green might be over inflated at this stage notwithstanding the good progress being made in this area. We noted that a GREEN rating for the partnership overall was being proposed (up from the current rating of AMBER-GREEN) but that the actual rating was subject to further discussions with GOL at the annual review meeting in the coming weeks.

We also noted the Improvement Plan for 2006-07 which identified and brought together the main issues for improvement across the HSP and Theme Boards.

RESOLVED:

1.      That we receive the report
