Need to consider options Smaller Districts and Boroughs – Replacement for GCSX (GCF or PSN?) – Collaboration with other partners Larger Counties and Unitaries – Replacement for GCSX (GCF or PSN?) – Creating a PSN compliant network – Partnering with other organisations Regional/Sub-regional//County based/go it alone approach? – No right or wrong answer
Not everybody is engaged Deliberate policy to work through partnerships – County or wider A couple in the South still to go Possibility of a Thames Valley briefing? More guidance for Districts once the GCF contract has been let Please get in touch ……
