Local Authority Support
With the public sector facing the deepest cutbacks since the creation of the modern welfare state, the public sector faces hard choices.
The most urgent question for councils will be: how can public services achieve more for less — providing services that meet people’s needs, while costing less?
On top of the cuts dramatic change is coming. Charities, private firms and social enterprises may end up either influencing delivery or taking direct control of key areas – from elements of welfare to libraries, street maintenance and much else.
- Do you have the tools and mechanisms to cope with such major change?
- Have you planned how your local third sector can take responsibility for services?
- How can your council remain a strong community leader while this occurs?
- Has your council developed a ‘personalisation’ strategy?
- Have you planned how to develop new income streams?
- Does your staff understand the council’s changing role?
