12 October 2014 For Discussion  Do we all set outcomes and measure in a comparable way?  Are the Delivering Change Outcomes broad enough to encompass the many aspects of CCB?  Is this about the process leading to outcomes?  Can we include partners further and if so how?  How do we show the joint impact of partnership working for CCB?
