Have a clear vision of building liability & responsibility
Embed a strategy for estates management & life cycling into operations

The network to be a nationally recognised body:
Forming a single voice on important matters with EFA/DFE and local authorities
Working with national/regional procurement bodies to affect change for members
Regional structure to better support MATs in clusters
Regional and national workshops,
online communication
regional champions i.e. the coordinators of the network
