Launch of Responsible Reform: Open Public Services for All

22 February 2012

Responsible Reform: Open Public Services for All sets out the recommendations following the Open for All? The Changing Nature of Equality under Big Society and Localism research published in January 2012. 

In the first of the series of articles leading up to the publication of Responsible Reform: Open Public Services for All, Neil MnInroy (Chief Executive of the Centre for Local Economic Strategies) and Richard Caulfield argue that evidence shows that equalities have been negatively affected by the current government's policies. Also, equality should be the means by which we can draw together a responsible and radical reform of public services with empowered communities and citizens.

The other articles in the series are:

The mirages served up by reforms shouldn't deflect us from viewing localism as the answer - David Boyle, New Economics Foundation
I'd rather have a vuvuzela! Equalities and the Big Society - Debra Allcock Tyler, Directory of Social Change
Stretching the role of commissioners - Matthew Jackson, CLES
Linking up the 'five pillars' can deliver equality - Stuart Speeden
Responsible Reform: the findings - Warren Escadale

Responsible Reform: Open Public Services for All was published on Thursday 23rd February, and was discussed at an event in Westminster.
