Partnerships

Working in Partnership plays a major part in co-ordinating strategic planning in the delivery of quality local services.

BAVO and the voluntary sector is seen as an important partner in supporting the work of statutory bodies.

Here are some links to the partnerships we are involved in:

Local Service Board (LSB)

The LSB is the over-arching multi-agency body that brings together strategic partnerships in the county borough to coordinate and integrate activity more effectively, to reduce duplication and promote joint learning and share good practice.

Health, Social Care & Well-Being (HSCWB)

Bridgend County Borough Council, Bridgend Local Health Board, Bridgend Association of Voluntary Organisations and partners have worked closely and in consultation with many groups and the public, to produce the first Health Social Care and Well-being Strategy for the people and communities of Bridgend County Borough.

Children's Partnership (CP)

The Children's Partnership coordinates inter-agency planning and development of services for children from 0 to 10 years old. It recognises the need to put children at the centre of service planning and that families are of prime importance to this age group. Supporting families, in many cases, will be necessary to improve outcomes for children.

Young People's Partnership (YPP)

Bridgend County Young People's Partnership was established in 2002 in response to the Welsh Assembly Government's Guidance "Extending Entitlement - Support for 11 to 25 year olds in Wales".

Safer Bridgend Partnership

The Bridgend Community Safety Partnership involves various agencies from the public, private and voluntary sector that work together to reduce crime, disorder and fear of crime locally, in order to improve the quality of life and to create a safer living and working environment.

The Bridgend Compact
