The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) is a statutory requirement for each local authority area. In Dudley Borough we have decided to focus on the strengths of the community as well as its needs. The JSNA is a collaborative project involving local organisations and interest groups, including Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, local NHS organisations, the Police, the Fire Service and the voluntary sector.

The role of the JSNA is to provide an overview of the needs and assets of local residents and provide intelligence to Dudley Health and Wellbeing Board (HWBB). This will inform the priorities and implementation of the health and wellbeing strategy, supporting the Board to fulfil its responsibility for improving the health and wellbeing of all Dudley Borough residents and reducing inequalities.

Due to the wealth of information and range of topics within the scope of the JSNA, partners in Dudley have decided that All About Dudley Borough will be our JSNA. Information will be updated on a regular basis and new topic areas developed in line with local priorities.
