What NTSP does
Tackling the issues that really matter to people requires a range of local organisations working together with the community. Members of the Partnership pool the resources at their disposal, carrying out a wide variety of initiatives to improve conditions and services in the borough.
NTSP is made up of five 'Theme Partnerships' specialising in different areas and an Executive group to ensure co-ordination between the different themes.
The five themes are:
- Children, Young People & Learning
- Crime & Disorder Reduction and Misuse of Drugs
- Sustainable Communities and Neighbourhoods
- Health & Well-being
- Regeneration & Enterprise
Each Theme Partnership is made up of representatives from relevant groups and agencies in North Tyneside who provide invaluable experience, expertise and local knowledge. Working together improves efficiency and guarantees best use of resources.
Many issues 'cut across' the themes, and the most effective way to tackle these is for partners to work together, sharing their expertise and resources. For example working towards reducing the fear of crime can have a positive impact on peoples' mental and physical health, and fear can be reduced by creating a safe environment.
Themes develop their own Action Plans to set out their objectives and how they will go about achieving them. These are closely linked to NTSP's Community Strategy (The Shared Plan). Theme Partnerships also have their own Co-ordinator, who liaises with the NTSP Executive on progress.
