The South East Grid for Learning, led by Ian Wilcox from the PSN Local Government Liaison, emphasizes the establishment of a secure, service-assured private internet for the public sector. With the completion of the MPRG review in November 2010, PSN is actively moving from development into deployment, with early delivery projects and connections to the Government Secure Intranet. Workshops and partnerships with local governments aim to create a compliant network to enhance collaboration and service delivery. For more information, visit the Cabinet Office resource library.
