EdEconomic developmentToday, perhaps more than ever before, there is a need for councils and their partners to focus on the future economic viability of local communities. We have experience of supporting economic development at a local level and across functional economic areas.
HrHousing and regenerationA combination of the recession and its impact on public expenditure has major implications for housing and regeneration. Our unique understanding of evolving national policy, our hands on delivery and planning experience and our analytical skills can help clients in these challenging times.
HsHealth, social care and children's servicesCloser working between health, local government and other partners is being driven by policy and financial imperatives and a focus on putting greater control in the hands of service users. We work at the forefront of these developments. Our work on joint needs assessments, health improvement and tackling health inequalities has broken new ground.
LcLibraries and cultural servicesPublic libraries are at the heart of the debate about the future shape of local government services and how councils should respond to significantly reduced public expenditure.
LaLocal governance, accountability and scrutinyLocal councils face a major challenge making sense of the implications of the Coalition's Programme for Government for them and the communities they serve.
NcNeighbourhoods and community involvementDevolution beyond town and county halls to communities and neighbourhoods is a core strand of the Coalition's programme for government. We contribute to national policy making on this theme and support the local implementation of neighbourhood approaches.
PiPoverty and inequalitiesAction to tackle poverty and reduce inequalities requires comprehensive data analysis, strategic thinking, detailed planning and a commitment to collaborative working. That is what we bring to our work with government departments and local organisations.
SeSkills and employmentThe role of local bodies in tackling unemployment and worklessness is changing. There is potential for more devolution so action can be responsive to local needs, but the approach of the Coalition Government is still developing.
