City Strategy CITY PARTNERSHIP FORUM Children Economic & Young People Economic Development Health & Wellbeing CITY PARTNER GROUP Skills, Work & Poverty Community Safety Housing We can measure how well we are doing in two main ways: How well we meet our statutory duties set out by government around health, safeguarding, crime and other issues. These are the primary concern of the statutory partnerships and the organisations responsible for these (for example Salford City Council, Greater Manchester Police). We have standards set by regulatory bodies (for example Ofsted for schools) that we must meet. How well we work towards the priorities detailed within the forthcoming City Strategy and City Plan. These will be determined by the people of Salford and the Partnership Forum will play an important role in shaping these. We can set our own local priorities and targets. It is vital that we all recognise our own role to play in making Salford a better city. This view of the model attempts to highlight that although services are accountable to the people of Salford. There is also a responsibility for all residents and businesses to help drive improvement and to develop the city, in line with the emerging co-operative approach.
