About NYSP

North Yorkshire - a place of equal opportunity where all can develop their full potential, participate in a flourishing economy, live and thrive in secure communities, see their high-quality environment and cultural assets maintained and enhanced and receive effective support when they need it.

- Sustainable Community Strategy for North Yorkshire 2008/18

 
The North Yorkshire Strategic Partnership (NYSP) brings together the principal public sector agencies responsible for promoting the economic, social and environmental wellbeing of communities in the County, together with the voluntary sector and business community and each of the district level strategic partnerships.
 

 
These agencies and bodies recognise that they can do more with their limited resources if they focus their efforts jointly on a common understanding of communities’ needs and so have established the strategic partnership to that end. 
 
The role of the NYSP is to provide leadership and to drive forward action in relation to identified issues where cross-cutting working would deliver benefits of co-ordination, resource management or avoidance of duplication. Our intention is to plan work jointly and to promote partnership work to deliver added value to the communities we serve.  
 

 
 
The NYSP framework consists of three key elements:
 
• the Wider Partnership - open to all interested organisations from the public, private, community and voluntary sectors, meeting at least once a year in conference style;
 
• the NYSP Executive (formerly the combined meeting of the NYSP Steering Group and LAA Management Group) - which ensures that the priorities of the NYSP are taken forward; and
 
• the six Thematic Partnerships (Adults, Healthier Communities, Children and Young People, Development Board (economy and enterprise), Safer Communities, and Rural Partnership) - which provide strategic partnership arrangements including creating detailed plans and ensuring their delivery.
 
Further information about the work of each of these groups can be located by using the menu links on the left of this page.
