Really useful to be able to network and share some of our challenges, hear that colleagues are similarly challenged and benefit from those where progress has been made.” Ann Carruthers, Director of Environment and Transport, Leicestershire County Council 

A really engaging, thought provoking session providing information and insight on a wide range of place-based services.  There was opportunity for debate and for sharing common issues and best practice.  An afternoon well spent with supportive colleagues.” Claire Brailsford, Interim Assistant Director of Environment, Derbyshire County Council

Working in your own silo can be a lonely and difficult experience – especially with the increasing challenges we face – but coming together with others tackling the same problems provides real strength and support.  I find the ADEPT network a powerful way to share and learn – making work less lonely and solutions easier to find.” Rachel North, Strategic Director for Communities & Place, Derby City Council
