Partnership Executive
The Partnership Executive is the group which
makes the decisions of the Partnership Board happen. It is
chaired by the Leader of the Council in their capacity as
Chair
of the
Partnership
, ensuring a clear link with the Partnership
Board. The Lead Members for
Regeneration
,
Localisation and Community Partnership, and Employment and Skills
all have a standing invite to all meetings.
The Partnership Executive can only take
decisions that are within the powers delegated to chief officers by
their respective organisations and is not a decision making body in
its own right.
The main role of the Executive is be to bring
together the most senior officers of those organisations primarily
responsible for delivering public services in Tower Hamlets, so
that:
- Management actions in each of the partner organisations are
co-ordinated and designed to optimise and accelerate delivery of
the Community Plan;
- Performance management of LAA targets is overseen by chief
officers at a partnership level;
- Opportunities for co-operation, shared services and efficiency
are identified and realised;
- Actions that require Board level approval (e.g. Cabinet in the
case of the Council) are progressed through the governance
arrangements of each of the delivery organisations.
The Executive brings the key elements of the
work of the previous Excellent Public Services CPAG <bust>
and the LAA <bust> Cross Block meetings. It meets six times a
year and three weeks before the Partnership Board meets.
It has the key function of strategic
co-ordination for the Partnership with responsibility for
implementing the decisions of the Partnership Board, to which it is
directly accountable.
The Executive brings together the chief
officers of the main partners as well as the voluntary and
community sector umbrella body. Its overall purpose is to drive
delivery of the Local Area Agreement and the Community Plan.
A key responsibility for the group is to ensure the One Tower
Hamlets theme crosses all areas of work and reflect key borough
wide initiatives such as the Olympics.
It is also tasked with bringing challenge,
ambition, acceleration and excellence to the quality and
improvement of services across Tower Hamlets. In particular, the
remit is to focus on risks to delivery and identify and broker
solutions.
