Think imaginatively about sustainability: 

  •  Regularly review with partners to encourage shared learning, strategic thinking and problem solving
  • Use partnerships to respond to wider initiatives and potentially release funding
  • Build development opportunities into partnership working: for example, shadowing partners; secondment opportunities; job swaps
  • Seek feedback from partners on what you are doing and the impact of this on their users
  • What have you learned from the partnership? How does that change what you do and how you do it?

Now look again at your Inspiring Learning for All Action Plan. Do you need to give more emphasis to Partnership working?

Now go to Benchmark to move on.
