PSN is becoming a reality• MPRG review completed in Nov 2010. Programme seen as being able to

deliver benefits and will continue

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 ……
