The Business Partnering (BP) team plays a vital role within L&D, partnering with the Audit Stream to identify learning needs and develop appropriate responses. They work alongside the business to drive the Learning and Development agenda and coordinate with support teams.

The BP team acts as the business voice within L&D, providing oversight and challenge, and representing L&D to the business.

They may also support onsite programme management and facilitation.
