Our key partnership strategies

Our four key partnership strategies are developed and delivered with partners, across the district. In supporting our shared outcomes and vision for Kirklees, they complement each other and our Council Plan.

These strategies are partnership-led. They explain where we are at in Kirklees - what our opportunities and challenges are, what we need to do to improve, and the role each of us has to make this happen together. Each of these top-tier strategies support the others to achieve the overall vision of the Council Plan. Success in one, translates into success in another.

Acting on the feedback from the council's recent corporate peer challenge, we will aim to work even more closely with partners on delivery of our shared priorities and outcomes.

You can find out more about these strategies at Policies and strategies.
