As all of us in local government know, excelling in spite of severe financial pressure has now become a way of life. With our communities depending heavily on their much relied upon services, the teams of staff working behind the scenes to keep them going are often taken for granted by residents.
Across the country, councils continue to excel in developing new ways of working and transforming local public service delivery. As local government’s first Improvement and Efficiency Social Enterprise, we are committed to supporting the sector in improving services, reducing costs and ensuring that knowledge is shared to strengthen sector-led improvement.
To honour the dedication of those who are improving people’s lives every single day and to celebrate the latest innovations and truly groundbreaking models of working that are taking place, our sixth annual Improvement and Efficiency Awards Ceremony took place on Tuesday 4th March 2014
