My Department made funds available to bodies in the Education Sector to assist in the establishment of partnership arrangements in the workplace, aimed at involving staff in the change and modernisation process, delivering improvements in performance and improving the working environment. The funding provided support for staff and facilitation resources, training in partnership skills, communication material, national and regional partnership meetings and administration costs. The provision of funding was contingent on the submission of a Business Case outlining partnership strategy and objectives and was required to be supported by a recommendation from the National Centre for Partnership and Performance, which was consulted in all cases. Details of the funding provided since 2000 are outlined in the attached document.
