Agenda item

The Head of Policy, Partnerships & Programmes introduced a report that sought the Panel’s comments on and endorsement of the draft Slough Wellbeing Board Annual Report 2016-17.  The strategic role of Board in co-ordinating Slough’s network of partnerships was noted and its key activities over the past year were reviewed.

The Slough Joint Wellbeing Strategy had been reviewed in 2016 with a reduced number of key priorities for partners to collectively focus on.  The Board had held its first Annual Conference in September 2016 and it was agreed that Members of the Panel would be invited to the Wellbeing Annual Conference on 21st September 2017.  During discussion, Members suggested that the Annual Report include more case studies and examples of practical achievements in support of the high level strategic priorities; and greater input from partners on how their involvement in the Board had made a difference to Slough residents.  It was agreed that this feedback would be provided to the Wellbeing Board.

The Panel noted and endorsed the report.

Resolved –  That the work underway to evaluate the effectiveness of the Wellbeing Board’s key activities and achievements during the period May 2016 to April 2017, as set out in the draft Annual Report, be noted and endorsed.
