Abstract	The article analyses the concept of partnership and specifically explores the significance for the operation of partnerships, in the areas of youth and community sport, of the perspectives that partners bring to these relationships. The general context for the analysis is the increasing use of partnerships by government for the achievement of its sport policy objectives. The article examines the triangular relationship between School Sport Partnerships (SSPs), National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGBs), and County Sport Partnerships (CSPs). The specific context for the analysis is the decision by the Secretary of State for Education to remove funding from SSPs and the impact that this had on the triangular relationship. The study uses data from a number of semi-structured interviews and questionnaires with CSP and NGB representatives to explore their interpretations of this change. The findings present agents' perspectives in three discrete areas: the value and effectiveness of SSPs, the broader implications of the cut in funding SSPs for the sport policy community, and partners' responses to the cut in SSP funding. The findings include: (a) that whilst NGBs regretted the loss of SSPs, CSPs were more equivocal; (b) whilst NGBs considered SSP development managers to be facilitators, CSPs were more likely to see them as gatekeepers; (c) both NGBs and CSPs saw the dramatic contraction of the SSP programme as detrimental to the achievement of their own objectives; and (d) inter-personal relationships and local political context significantly affected the perspectives that both NGBs and CSPs had of their partnership with SSPs.
