A Better Way is holding a series of workshops with the Future Governance Forum to feed in your experience and ideas into its new Social Insights Panel, which will be making recommendations to the Government’s Test, Learn and Grow programme - a great chance to improve communication and collaboration between central government and civil society. Each event will focus on prevention from early to late stage. Key questions for the Transition to adulthood workshop will be:
What makes young people struggle in transition to adulthood and maintain a sense of optimism about their future?
What interventions from communities and the state can improve children's sense of inclusion in society when they become adults?
When and how does the system let them down, and how can this be prevented?
The Social Insights Panel, from The Future Governance Forum, supported by the Henry Smith Foundation, and led by Polly Neate, an FGF associate and core group member of A Better Way, is a brand new initiative designed to demonstrate and shape a new relationship between civil society and government in their shared mission of tackling complex, seemingly intractable challenges.
The panel is made up of an independent group of leaders, all of whom will have previously held roles delivering missions in complex and challenging contexts in civil society (and, in many cases, in other sectors as well) but who are no longer representing a single organisation.
Through a series of workshops and roundtables, delivered in partnership with A Better Way Network, the panel will listen with open minds to a wide range of perspectives from across civil society, and will then come together to reach a shared set of recommendations for government on how to drive transformational change on cross-cutting, ‘wicked’ challenges.
In its first phase the panel is focused on supporting and advising the government’s‘Test, Learn and Grow’programme for innovation in public service reform, which could benefit from the wisdom and experience of civil society. We know that civil society voices can come together to be greater than the sum of their parts, especially when working in collaboration with other sectors to transform policy and practice.
