CSPs to Date Been around since 2000 Lived through Active Sports to wider partnerships Been regionalised in 9 different forms Been seen as needed but have always struggled to clarify their role and purpose Created 49 different approaches Been successful This may be the world you know where CSPs have evolved to the last point is absolutely true ---CSPs have been very successful.

3. Where do CSPs need to be Seen as a credible national network All react to NGBs and other Sports Partners in a consistent and predictable manner Taking responsibility and ownership of their future Seen by other sectors as high quality self confident network CSPs need to tackle the inconsistency issue. It�s the challenge for the CSPs Also need to take responsibility and ownership of their future Creating some capacity in terms of buying out time for key people CSPs need to tackle the inconsistency issue. It�s the challenge for the CSPs Also need to take responsibility and ownership of their future Creating some capacity in terms of buying out time for key people

4. CSPs The Future Sport England to core fund CSPs to deliver core retained services to NGBs CSPs to negotiate with NGBs on an individual basis CSps must deliver support to NGBs CSPs can work on other agendas These are the key principles agreed with Sport England and encouraged by CSPN These are the key principles agreed with Sport England and encouraged by CSPN

5. So what does it look like

6. NGBs Plans are with Sport England SE to challenge NGBs to clarify their intentions for CSPs This will illustrate the demand from NGBS SE to write a Secification for CSPs to deliver

7. The Principles Sport England contract CSPs to deliver core services via CSP specification NGBs to commission CSPs to offer other services for them Other agencies YST Health can utilise CSPs But all CSPs must deliver the Sport agenda in a consistent and predictable manner These are the key principles These are the key principles

8. The challenge Will the NGB demand be clear on 1st April 09? If not when and how do we stop CSPs losing their capacity to support Club Coach Vol etc etc EIS it took time to settle how do we find that time for CSPs and NGBs ? Do NGBs know what CSPs can do for them ?
