How we are going to make Camden Together happen
Camden Together sets out the vision for Camden in 2012, with clear priorities that we need to focus on make that vision a reality. It is an ambitious strategy because it tackles - head on - the main challenges we face to make Camden a borough of opportunity.
For the Council and other public services, Camden Together will set the direction for our work over the next five years. The vision will provide the context for all of our other strategies and plans, including important partnership plans (like Camden’s Children and Young People’s Plan) and individual organisations’ plans (like the Council’s Corporate Plan).
We will publish the main targets and indicators that we will use to measure success in Camden’s Local Area Agreement. This will set out in detail the specific improvements that we want to see each year and our performance against them.
We will also produce a report every two years for the Local Strategic Partnership on progress against all of the commitments set out in this strategy. This will monitor how well the commitments in this strategy are being delivered by the Council and its partners.
This strategy is not just about what public services can do, but also sets out the role of businesses, communities and individuals. We will publish information about how these groups are contributing to making the vision a reality.
It is important to understand and monitor the impact of this community strategy on different aspects of life in the borough. This is to ensure the strategy is not having a discriminatory impact on particular groups, or harming the environment or the health of local people.
For this reason, the community strategy will be assessed for its impact on health, environment, diversity and equality. The impact assessment will be reflected and updated in the biennial progress reports on the community strategy.
