In his keynote address, Mr Sheerman said, "In light of current economic conditions- signified by public sector spending cuts, including those in the education sector- we need to think of new ways of doing business. In particular, we need to be inventive if we are all to overcome the challenges ahead."

Up until the change of Government, Barry Sheerman was Chairman of the House of Commons Parliamentary Select Committee for Children, Schools and Families and previously chair of the Parliamentary Select Committee for Education and Skills from 2001 to 2007. The approach he advocates includes building new partnerships because, he said: "partnerships are central to how we deliver high quality in education- and in other areas of our national life."
