The NDC programme is overseen and managed by a group of residents and agency representatives called the "Partnership Board". The Partnership Board makes the strategic decisions which the NDC then implements on a project basis. Residents take up the majority of places on the Partnership Board - 12 places in Coventry's case. In addition, the Partnership Board includes representatives from West Midlands police, Coventry Teaching Primary Care (formerly the Health Authority), Job Centre Plus (formerly the Employment Service), the Benefit Agency, Henley College, Education Action Zone, Whitefriars Housing Group. a local business representative, and local ward councillors.

As well as attending Partnership Board meetings, we encourage residents to also get involved with the work of the key theme areas. Each theme area has its own Resident Chair and regular strategy meeting for residents to get involved in a subject area that they might be particular keen on.
