For the engagement exercise, the terms ‘themes and priorities’ were used throughout the strategy, these are now being referred to as ‘priorities and commitments’ in the consultation to add more ownership to the actions needed to deliver the strategy’s outcomes.
Key priorities for the strategy
The eight priorities outlined in the draft strategy are:
Give every child the best start in life.
Enable all children, young people and adults to maximise their capabilities and have control over their lives.
Create fair employment and good work for all.
Ensure a healthy standard of living for all.
Create and develop healthy and sustainable places and communities.
Strengthen the role and impact of ill health prevention.
Tackle racism, discrimination and their outcomes.
Pursue environmental sustainability and health equity together.
Key commitments for each of these priorities were developed with residents and stakeholders from a range of sectors including adult and children’s social care, public health, housing, planning, education, skills and employment, health and voluntary and community groups. They have also been shaped by national government plans and local data, which highlight the areas where certain populations need more support. The commitments are the actions we will take to help improve the health and wellbeing of our residents in Cheshire West and Chester.
Feedback from the engagement showed that the majority of respondents agreed that most of the commitments within all the priorities were important, therefore these have all been included in the draft Strategy.
