Britain Renewed 2025: Public services for people and place

​The UK government is under pressure to turn policy into delivery at pace, so that people feel change in their day to day lives. The principles guiding the government’s public service reform agenda are clear: preventative, place-based, built around people.

​But how exactly can the government achieve this ambition? And what is the overarching vision for public services, one which is meaningful to people and their communities, which is guiding such reform?

​On December 2, The Future Governance Forum and UCL Policy Lab are teaming up to co-convene a one-day conference exploring a new era of public service reform and how each of us can play our part in achieving it.

​We are delighted that Cabinet Office minister Josh Simons MP and Scotland minister Kirsty McNeill MP will be joining us on the day, alongside a wide array of politicians, senior civil servants, experts, innovators and practitioners.

​Britain Renewed 2025 will bring together the officials, political leaders and advisers leading the charge on public service reform at all levels of government with innovators from frontline services, business and civil society.

​Together, we’ll tackle the grit that gets in the way of collaboration, spotlight examples of next-generation practice emerging across the UK, and unpack how we can enable innovation to thrive because of the system, not in spite of it.

​​Britain Renewed 2025 is delivered in partnership with AWS, Inner Circle Consulting, the Growth and Reform Network and the UKRI (ERC) Relational State Capacity Project.
