The Authority builds on the recent rationalisation of current partnerships through the review of its Partnership Register by undertaking a further `light touch' audit of the arrangements for those partnerships that remain (using the checklist set out in Appendix 1 of the consultant's report) to reassure itself and its partners that the criteria for partnership working are satisfied.

All Partnership Managers have been asked to assess current arrangements for all partnerships against the Policy and toolkit. For those arrangements that they then assess to be valid partnerships, a return is being made to the Performance Review Team which will include on the Partnership Register. This work is underway, and was scheduled to be completed by June 29^th 2007. The target date has been extended to 31^st October 2007 to allow adequate time to complete the assurance process.

Progress as at 20th August 2007 : All Partnerships have now been assessed against the toolkit and a central record is being maintained by Performance Review. All new proposed partnerships will be similarly assessed to ensure they meet the criteria.
