Against the backdrop of continued debates about structure and governance through the English Devolution White Paper, it is really important we in the sector keep focused on what makes the most difference to people's lives. In particular, whatever else may change in the future (or not), it is essential we preserve the strong partnerships that have been forged across organisations and sectors.

At Breckland I am proud to say that we recently launched a brand-new one-stop-shop to provide holistic support and early intervention to local residents. This means people need to only tell their story once in order to access all the help they need from a range of services.
