Description

The Department for Education launched the Schools' Buying Strategy in 2017. One of the aims of the strategy was to provide all School Business Professionals with networking opportunities, for peer to peer support, to ask questions and share knowledge through both online and face-to-face. Networks offer additional benefits, for example CPD opportunities, learning from peers and sharing best practice. Networks are helpful in many professional areas, but in the area of procurement, they are crucial for helping buyers to compare prices and suppliers and share tips and best practice. We want to support and create networks where they do not currently exist.
Aim: To create a bespoke professional network for SBPs in the special schools sector, the Special Schools Network
