• It is recognised that a partnership is where all partners are equally important. This means mutual appreciation of each other’s roles and objectives as well as mutual acknowledgement of the constraints facing both the Statutory and the voluntary and community sector. • The public sector acknowledges the independence and diversity of the voluntary and community sector and the Sector’s right to challenge, comment or campaign on policy and practice. • The voluntary and community sector acknowledges the public sector’s statutory responsibilities and the constraints placed on it by central Government directives and performance indicators. • The voluntary and community sector also recognises the decision-making role of elected members and their democratic responsibility to balance the needs of everyone on the Isle of Wight and work within the resources available. • Both sectors will respect the confi dentiality of information, when given to it on that basis.
The Local Government White Paper “Strong and Prosperous Communities” (2006)encourages Local Authorities to involve local people in shaping and delivering local services. This includes helping local groups and organisations to deliver public and community services by transferring Council assets to community ownership.
The purpose of this Strategy is to set the course for the Island’s economy that will address our challenges and secure benefits for the Island’s communities. The South East Region has a strong regional economic strategy and framework. Our local strategy and policy framework will need to compliment this.

An Assessment of the Economic and Environmental Impacts of the 2008 Isle of Wight Music Festival.
Produced by the Isle of Wight Local Safeguarding Children Board, this document is primarly written for professionals who come into regular or daily contact with children or families and may have concern about a child, young person or unborn child. This document does not replace best practice guidance which is already in place to inform effective and timely responses and intervention by social care staff, when and where required.
In April 2010 Local Authorities were required to complete a Local Economic Assessment (LEA) of their area. The aim was to provide a comprehensive picture of the local economy, pulling together a wide range of data and evidence to tell a story of place. This guidance was revoked in July 2010, allowing local authorities greater scope to use the duty as they see fit. On this basis, the Island LEA will provide the Council and its partners with a robust analysis of local economic conditions that will be used to inform economic policies and interventions.
