Sustainable Partnerships

Partnerships between adult learning organisations have thrived in recent years but there are concerns that when funding is cut partnerships will become fragile as organisations increasingly focus on their own survival. This policy discussion paper summarises the current situation, looks at the advantages, incentives and barriers involved in joint working arrangements and, using illustrative examples, explores the factors that contribute to successful partnerships. It explores current policy and research, and concludes with a number of recommendations.Lynne-Snowden, Marri is the author of 'Sustainable Partnerships', published 2006 under ISBN 9781862012929 and ISBN 186201292X.
