Our structure
The North Somerset Partnership (NSP) has several elements.
These are:
- The Partnership Board made up of 20 representatives from the public, business, voluntary and community sectors. There are also a number of advisers to the Board from organisations such as Government Office South West and Somerset Racial Equality Council. The Board is the decision making body and its key task is to oversee the delivery, monitoring and evaluation of the Community Strategy.
- Delivery partnerships work on a thematic basis to implement the objectives of the Community Strategy through their action plans. Delivery partnerships are linked to the Board through a Board Member as Champion. Some delivery partnerships are already well established, others are still developing.
- The Stakeholder Forum where stakeholders come together for an Annual Event to hear about progress against actions within the Community Strategy and to influence future priorities for the work of the Partnership.
- Communities and local people also have the opportunity to influence the work of the Partnership by identifying local issues for example through the Parish Plan process.
The structure, roles and responsibilities of the various components of the Partnership are set out in the Terms of Reference.
