Describe the area you are impact assessing and, where appropriate, the changes you are proposing?
This is a ‘live’ Community Impact Assessment and will be added to as policies, protocols and associated strategies are developed.
In 1994 representatives from the council, health providers, police and other public sector agencies, plus representatives from the
community, faith and voluntary groups and businesses came together to bid for funding from central government. We’ve had an
overarching partnership for the city ever since although it has been known by many different names. Currently it is known as Partners IN
Salford and from 2001 it was our Local Strategic Partnership (LSP).
There is no longer a legal requirement to have a local strategic partnership. However, within Salford we recognise the value of such a
body as one of the main engagement tools with the community and other stakeholders in the decision making for the city.
With the election of the City Mayor in 2012 it was agreed (at the Partnership Executive meeting on 17 September 2012;
http://www.partnersinsalford.org/executive-17september2012.htm) that a review of existing arrangements should be conducted to make
the partnership fit for purpose.
The main emphasis of the review is to make the partnership more efficient and therefore reduce costs. Other drivers include the need to
better co-ordinate and join up activities for the whole city, reduce duplication and meetings, simplify arrangements, reduce fragmentation,
improve involvement and be clear on how the city links with and makes the most of the opportunities in Greater Manchester and beyond.
The review has resulted in a proposal for a new Salford City Partnership which was presented to the Partnership Executive meeting on
18 March, 2013. This CIA initially concerns the process of the review and the resulting model.

Section C – Monitoring information
Monitoring is undertaken through two routes:
 Membership of the Partnership is by organisation – an organisation or forum providing specific services for people with the
protected characteristics or equality areas, represents these groups on the partnership and provides a collective voice for them
 Individual’s participation in the annual Partnership Forum Conference – data collected using an equality monitoring form – the
most recent conference was held January 2012. The next conference will be on 3 October 2013.
C1 Do you currently monitor by the
following protected characteristics or
equality areas?
Age
Yes (Y) or
No (N)
If no, please explain why and / or detail in the action plan at Section E how you
will prioritise the gathering of this equality monitoring data.
Y

Gender (including pregnancy and
maternity and marriage and civil
partnership)
Y
Gender Reassignment
Y

Carers
Y
Refugees and people seeking
asylum

or provide services for people on low income (eg, Jobcentre Plus).
Worklessness and Child / Family Poverty have been two of the four existing
priorities for the partnership – it is anticipated this will remain high on the agenda
for the new Salford City Partnership arrangements.
Individual monitoring for protected characteristic / equality area is very difficult as
it is a very sensitive subject to ask.
Membership of Partnership: Yes
Participation at annual conference 2012: This data was not collected but will be
considered for inclusion in the monitoring for the 2013 annual conference.
Membership of Partnership: Yes
Participation at annual conference 2012: This data was not collected but will be
considered for inclusion in the monitoring for the 2013 annual conference.
Section C (continued) – Consultation
C2 Are you intending to carry out consultation on your proposals?
Yes
If “yes”, please give details of your consultation exercise and results below
The review has been delivered in a series of phases and there has been continuous consultation with representatives from the various
protected characteristics / equality areas throughout. Alerts on the results of each phase were distributed each time they were placed on
the Partners IN Salford website. Full details of the review can be found at http://www.partnersinsalford.org/partnership-review.htm. The
consultation exercises include:
Phase 1: Agreeing the purpose of a strategic partnership.
A survey was shared with all member organisations on the existing Partnership Forum, distributed through Salford CVS e-bulletin;
shared with all members of the eight Community Committees, communities of identity, full Council, all existing thematic partnerships and
with the business community through Salford City Council and Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce contacts / mailing lists.
A database of respondents was created and built on throughout the review – this formed the basis of outreach plus the routes above.
Phase 2: Looking at the mechanisms that work or that we need.
18 presentations and meetings were held with various representatives including thematic partnerships, community committees, elected
members, Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce and others.
5
The results of this phase were again shared with all those in Phase 1 and asked for comments.
Phase 3: Possible options for development.
These were initially presented at the Partnership Executive on 18 December 2012 (http://www.partnersinsalford.org/executive18december2012.htm). The executive comprises representatives from the public, private and community / third sectors. Again these
were shared with all those in Phase 1 and asked for comment.
Proposed model.
From the agreed option a proposal for a new Salford City Partnership was developed through meetings with various representatives
from the public private and community / third sector. The proposal then went out for consultation with all those in Phase 1 for comment
and input. Further meetings and presentations accompanied this as requested by them (eg, Salford Safeguarding Children Board,
Ordsall and Langworthy Community Committee, Think Skills and Work Board, Salford Interfaith Network)
Suggestions and comments were used to update the proposed new arrangements and presented to Partnership Executive on 18 March
2013. A final decision will be made by the City Mayor and partners on 14 August 2013.
Consultation has therefore been conducted over a 22 week period from 15 October 2012 to 18 March 2013.

Review
Your CIA should be reviewed at least every three years, less if it has a significant impact on people.
Please enter the date your CIA will be reviewed 31 August 2016. You should review progress on your CIA action plan annually.
Section F – Summary of your CIA
As your CIA will be published on the council’s website and accessible to the general public, a summary of your CIA is required. Please
provide a summary of your CIA in the box below.
Summary of Community Impact Assessment
Brief summary of proposal or what you are impact assessing
Development and introduction (including membership) of the new Salford City Partnership. The main purpose of this partnership is to
improve community engagement in the strategic decision making for Salford and to coordinate the various activities, strategies and
plans across the city.
How did you approach the CIA and what did you find?
The new arrangements will have a positive impact on all communities and protected characteristics. This CIA was approached to
ensure all the groups had been included in the review of the strategic arrangements. The CIA highlighted the current demographic
profile for the city and includes those forums and other representative bodies that must be considered for membership.
What are the main areas requiring further attention?
This is an ongoing CIA. The initial areas for action include invitation to all those forums and representative bodies identified to become
members of the new Salford City Partnership. An overview, working arrangements and roles document will be prepared and shared for
further comment for groups to sign up to.
Summary of recommendations for improvement
Continued community engagement is required to ensure new and emerging communities and their representative bodies are invited to
join the new Salford City Partnership.

be challenged
