Thank you to those who responded to the CIPEM online survey sent out 2007 we have now collated and analysed all the responses and the following report offers a summary of the key findings. In conjunction with CIPEM, the East Midlands Cultural Observatory and Karen Stephenson undertook this Netform® analysis and baseline study. As well as collaborative working, the study looked at skills needs, priorities for support or training and perceptions of effective partnership working and best practice. This research will help CIPEM identify what support is needed for local government to ensure continuous improvement in culture and sport services.
