Read our latest report, produced in partnership with @HealthFdn, which introduces recommendations for how the government can effectively and appropriately ringfence funding for prevention. 🛡️👉 https://t.co/dSao7xOSEW

“We are calling on ministers to rewire the Treasury to make sure they are embedding prevention into policymaking to drive cultural change across public services and decision-making processes.” 🗨️ @pollycurtis urges for greater prevention spending.⬇️ https://t.co/88tT8lsqDK

NEW: In our latest briefing with @Demos, Anita Charlesworth explores the challenges of measuring prevention spending, and makes a series of recommendations to show how this could be appropriately achieved. Read more ⬇️ https://t.co/JaGGW4mc91

🚨 NEW BLOG 🚨 With all the recent talk of public sector reform, Lead Researcher @hanakappy looks at one aspect that hasn’t had as much focus as it deserves: procurement. How can procurement help deliver the missions? Find out here 👇 https://t.co/GGbAHsYe3y

@Voa1234 @MilaLukic @annarandle “We need a bit of boldness and bravery, and a clear, coherent story from central government about the value of our public services.” 🗣️ @annarandle

@Voa1234 @MilaLukic “We know what the future of public services looks like. It’s out there, it’s just not *everywhere*. “It’s in @Demos’ report launched today.” 🗣️ @annarandle

@Voa1234 “Through personalised delivery you can make really significant shifts - rather than a series of processes.” “There’s 20-year plans for the UK’s physical infrastructure, we need the same for our social infrastructure.” 🗣️ @MilaLukic

@Voa1234 “Even in the best organisations the people at the top understand about 20% of what’s going on; the middle, 30%; and the people at the bottom, 50%. “No public service reform will work unless we start listening to those at the bottom who know the problems we face.” 🗣️ @Voa1234

“Even with a ‘decade of renewal’, if you haven’t got food on the table or clothes on your back today, 10 years is a long time to wait. “We have to address the here and now.” 🗣️ @Voa1234

🎤 PANEL 4: Where next for public service reform? 📺 Kicking off our final panel of the Summit 👉🏻 https://t.co/9IRusK0cFW

“We worked closely with a small group of disempowered people and asked public servants to stick to two rules: Stay legal and do no harm. “We used measures, not targets, to learn and improve.” 🗣️ @MarkAdamSmith on the work happening in Gateshead Council.

“If we’re genuine about liberating our services, it’s about engaging with the voice of our workforce. “@Demos’ ask is an ask that we back - a workforce commission that designs for outcomes not outputs, and moves away from reliance on arbitrary targets.” 🗣️ @SianCElliott

“Governments in the past have seen the workforce as the problem and not the solution. “We must move away from treating public services as businesses run like factories, that have nothing to do with the people that work in them.” 🗣️ @carolineslocock

“Fewer than two thirds of secondary school pupils feel a sense of belonging - less than many other OECD countries. “Helping youngsters achieve their full potential is what liberated public services is really about.” 🗣️ @_JonathanSlater
