Public Service Reform: Improving Public Services in Partnership in Liverpool City Region
The VS6 Partnership is excited to invite representatives from the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector in Liverpool City Region to our latest assembly event – in collaboration with the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority.
We all know public services are under intense pressure. On the back of several crises, years of austerity and rising demand coupled with scarcity of resources, there is an urgent need to explore how we can deliver effective public services differently and innovatively. Of course, innovation is not new to the VCFSE sector. We are constantly innovating and adapting in the face of adversity, and we now have a unique opportunity to shine a spotlight on the sector’s role and expertise in the future of public service delivery in Liverpool City Region.
Chaired by Racheal Jones, CEO of One Knowsley and VS6 partner, we will be joined by representatives from the Combined Authority’s Office for Public Service Innovation (OPSI). OPSI brings together the six local authorities and key public sector organisations, community groups and businesses to radically reform public services to break the persistent cycle of disadvantage in our communities. By shifting support to early intervention and prevention, embedding innovative use of data, and bringing communities into service design and delivery, OPSI aims to improve people’s life chances, build community resilience and reduce inequalities.
Recognising that the VCFSE sector is a critical ally in the delivery of public services, and with our experience in developing innovative services for communities, this event will provide attendees with the opportunity to find out more about the Combined Authority’s OPSI programme and influence the future of public service innovation and partnership working in Liverpool City Region.
The event will take place in person on Monday 28th April 10am to 12pm, at Quaker Meeting House, Liverpool. The agenda will be circulated closer to the event, with the day consisting of presentations and a number of workshops.
Don’t miss this critical opportunity provided by VS6 to get involved with this evolving and emerging agenda to shape the future of partnership working and public service delivery in Liverpool City Region.
