TASS in Lancashire
Lancashire is a large and diverse county, with five Place-Based Partnerships each with its own unique characteristics and needs. The terminology of 'Place-Based Partnerships' mirrors the language used by the Lancashire and South Cumbria Health and Care Partnership.
In Lancashire and South Cumbria, the five place-based partnerships are:
- Fylde Coast - Fylde district, Wyre district
- Morecambe Bay - Lancaster district
- Central Lancashire - Chorley district, South Ribble district
- Preston - Preston district
- West Lancashire - West Lancashire district
- Pennine Lancashire - Hyndburn District, Ribble Valley District, Rossendale District, Pendle District, Burnley District
Treating Lancashire as one area, when looking at ways we could support and nurture positive change for our young people and their families would not be beneficial for Lancashire. Therefore, it is important to look at each area's characteristics and needs by the professionals and people who understand the area. As such, there are 5 locality groups; one for each of the Place-Based Partnerships.
