The future of public services

CLES think time

CLES think time sessions aim to provide an enjoyable and interesting opportunity for debate, discussion and new ideas.  They will be small scale to encourage active participation and offer a chance to ask new and old questions, think about the future and about the lessons from the past. We want these sessions to be positive and inspiring so that you will leave enthused and keen to get out there and improve places for the future.

Each session will be facilitated by a CLES member of staff and the focus will be on discussion, debate, sharing views, opinions and experience.

This session

We will discuss the theory behind the proposals and some of the opportunities and threats which they present for communities, existing service providers, the private sector, and the voluntary and community sector. The discussion at the think-time will feed into a consultation response to Government on the questions detailed in the White Paper.
