Good governance of improvement: making change stick

Improvement plans are easy to write and much harder to deliver. Too often, the arrangements meant to oversee them, such as improvement boards, assurance panels and scrutiny, end up tracking actions without asking whether anything is actually changing. In this 90-minute webinar, we’ll look at what effective governance of improvement looks like in practice: who should hold whom to account, how to use evidence rather than RAG ratings, where scrutiny and audit committees add the most value, and how to keep members, officers and external partners pulling in the same direction.

Whether your council is responding to a Best Value notice, working with commissioners, following up a peer challenge or driving its own improvement journey, you’ll leave with practical tools and sharper questions to take back to your organisation.

Who should attend: councillors, statutory officers, governance and scrutiny practitioners, and anyone supporting or overseeing improvement activity.
