After a summer break I am back with more collaboration news headlines to support your learning in collaborative working in the public sector.
Over the next five years,

SSA is at the heart of all those activities and will continue to support you in developing your skills to deliver on collaborative working, through our learning programmes, accredited recognition and online tools, templates and techniques.
