Stansted Hilton Conference Centre.
On 1 April 2008 the requirement on local authorities and Primary Care Trusts to work together to produce a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) became law. With its pivotal role in influencing Local Area Agreement targets, as well as forming a basis for close coordination and joint working between different public sector agencies and the third sector, JSNA is increasingly being recognised as an essential tool for improving outcomes for all sections of the local community. A one-day event was held exploring a number of different areas including future expectations, engaging with the public as a part of JSNA, the wider partnership context, and an overview of high-level findings and follow up actions from the Quality Assurance process undertaken in June and July 2008. It was targeted at Directors of Children’s Services, Directors of Adult Social Services, Directors of Public Health, Directors of Commissioning, senior analysts, commissioning and policy mangers and interested parties.
