A county sport partnership is a partnership of agencies committed to providing a high quality single system for people to benefit from sport.

A CSP has the following characteristics:

• It maintains a focus on children and young people (Physical Literacy, LTAD and child welfare)
  
• It is underpinned by a commitment to equity
  
• It seeks to ensure that sports development is driven through NGB plans
  
• Action is based on local need - influencing the understanding, interpretation and deployment of national, regional and local policy
  
• It is focused on investing in, and valuing people
  
• It is committed to achieving quality standards through continuous improvement and excellence in order to demonstrate impact
  
• It is fundamentally independent so that the core partnership team is impartial in order to broker progress
