Lessons from abroad - the sectors role in transforming public services
Public service reform is one of the biggest issues for the third sector in the UK but knowledge of how other countries are managing this shift is limited.
Acevo is producing an international comparative study on the sector’s role which will be launched at this conference.
The day will gather experts from across Europe, the US and Canada to share experiences and best practice, and explore what the UK third sector can learn from the experiences of leaders going through similar changes in other industrialised countries.
Delegates will hear from key figures in the debate and participate in wide ranging discussions about the essential theory and the practice behind this major topic.
