Your questions about the LSP

The Government's definition of a Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) is a single body which:

• brings together at a local level the different parts of the public sector as well as the private, business, community and voluntary sectors so that different initiatives and services support each other and work together
• is a non-statutory, non-executive organisation
• operates at a level which enables strategic decisions to be taken and is close enough to individual neighbourhoods to allow actions to be determined at community level
• should be aligned with local authority boundaries.
