Locality strategy (2021-2026)

Summary

Locality partners are committed to working together to improve outcomes of residents in the borough of Great Yarmouth. Whilst facilitated locally by Great Yarmouth Borough Council, we share this commitment with our statutory partners and all community-facing agencies commissioned to work on prevention and early help support to improve the lives of the people in our borough.

Our aim is to ensure our collective services support our residents by preventing avoidable issues, and by making available early intervention advice and support at the right time to avoid escalation that requires higher cost re-active interventions including provision of statutory services. The needs of the borough's residents are varied and sometimes complex. Mobilising our collective resources together with good communication will best serve our residents to live a high quality of life and achieve their ambitions, being supported through primary prevention by their natural support network wherever possible including family and friends.

Prevention is all about helping people to stay healthy, happy and independent. By tackling the wide range of determinants that negatively impact on people's life chances, by stopping problems arising in the first place, and by ensuring people have the skills, capabilities, and social networks to effectively manage the problems that do arise, we are all better able to live well and thrive.
