Our Plan for the Future of East Lothian: SOA 2011 Governance
Each Partner will ensure that corporate and joint governance and scrutiny arrangements are applied in support of their commitments under this agreement and in full accordance with the principles of Best Value. The Community Planning Partnership has chosen to not incorporate itself as a partnership, although there is provision for this in law. Community Planning Partners will, therefore, remain accountable to their own parent bodies.
The East Lothian Community Planning Partnership Board has the overall responsibility for monitoring and reviewing progress on the SOA 2011 on behalf of the Community Planning Partnership. The Board includes representation from the third sector; however, accountability for public finance and public performance rests with the public sector partners.
Parties to this Agreement confirm their commitment to fulfil all legal, policy and operational obligations upon them (including responsibilities introduced by the Concordat and any new obligations that may be agreed or introduced during the life of this Agreement).
This includes:
(i) That partners are signing up to the whole SOA, not selected parts of it
(ii) That signing up is equivalent to adopting the SOA as a formal corporate commitment of the Council or Board
(iii) That such a commitment is to support the delivery of the SOA in all possible ways compatible with their duties and responsibilities
(iv) That partners are willing to review their pre-existing structures, processes and resource deployment to optimise delivery of outcomes.
Performance Management
Our SOA 2011 outcomes will be delivered both through joint delivery plans and individual service plans where these are central to the theme. Joint delivery plans can be either logic models or partnership strategies with action plans, where they are in place. All logic models are joint delivery plans. Several partnership strategies and action plans have been developed through SOA 2009, e.g. East Lothian Environment Strategy, ELCPP Community Engagement Strategy and Local Area Community Plans for the Musselburgh and Dunbar areas.
