PM Partner update

Update from the PM Partner site

I've created a new page called Resources for councillors and non-executives .The 2006 Local Government White Paper outlines a greater role for councillors in executive, ward and scrutiny roles. Councillors and partner body non-executives will need to develop and enhance their partnership working skills. I hope we'll highlight a growing number of resources - but for now in particular this highlights two recent IDeA publications Neighbourhood renewal and social inclusion: a councillor's guide to scrutiny and Inside Top Teams: A practical guide which includes a section on partnership working.

I've also added a link to a new set of IDeA case studies on what local government and the community and voluntary sectors are doing together called Journeys to Improvement on our Community and Voluntary Sector Page

I've also tabulated the results of the PM Partner participant survey which you can find here. As a project team and with colleagues, we still have to think about what to do with what you said - but there was a lot of food for thought. Even from early results, we could see that we needed to improve the navigation of the site - and I hope that we've done that.

PM Partner update

I think I've edited almost every page on the PM Partner site. This is in response to feedback about the site - basically we want to make it easier to navigate. There are now a lot more links between pages with related content.

What do you think of the White Paper? I've added a new topic to the policy discussion page. I've also added a link a new Audit Commission paper on partnerships, schools and better outcomes for children on the Children and Young People page.
