Erica Wimbush shares a blog post about a policy reunion focused on the emergence and evolution of community planning partnerships (CPPs).  Policy reunions bring together some of the key people involved in the development of a policy in front of a small invited audience to reflect on what happened and what lessons can be learned.This event was organised and chaired by Professor Ken Gibb as part of the What Works Scotland initiative.

Peter Peacock, the deputy Scottish Government finance and public services minister at the time, Rory Mair, chief executive of COSLA, and Douglas Sinclair, chair of the accounts commission reflected on the process—their conversations refreshingly honest.

The panel acknowledged the failure to address and resource implementation of community planning, a major factor explaining the continued failure of many CPPs to thrive.
