Staffordshire Strategic Partnership

About the Staffordshire Strategic Partnership

The Staffordshire Strategic Partnership (SSP) is the county Local Strategic Partnership (LSP). It provides a framework for all agencies, sectors and partners to work collectively to promote the economic, social and environmental well being of the County. 

The SSP has three main roles:

• To develop a long term vision for Staffordshire;
• To provide a forum to explore and discuss new issues and to recommend ways of tackling them in the partnership environment;
• To develop the Sustainable Community Strategy for the County.

Mr Philip Atkins (County Councillor - Leader of Staffordshire County Council) chairs the SSP, while Christina Webb is the dedicated SSP Manager. Christina manages the day to day business of the SSP, as well organising the SSP Events and leading the development of the Sustainable Community Strategy for Staffordshire.

SSP Structure

There are several components that make-up SSP and all partners are committed to working together to improve outcomes for Staffordshire's communities. The key strategic partnerships are detailed below:
