Case studies for the Partnerships and Places Library, developed by IDeA (now part of the Local Government Association) – intended to enable ‘sharing learning and innovation to transform localities’. These have included:
- Dorset Performance Management Partnership
- Implementing a reward target in Derby: children’s physical activity
- Manchester Economic Development Services Framework
- Manchester: tackling worklessness amongst social housing tenants
- Enable, Nottingham (learning and skills consortium in the voluntary and community sector)
- Flight of the Flamingos, Wolverhampton (partnership development programme aimed at middle managers)
- Lewisham: putting people first (an effective model for driving service improvement and efficiency savings, now being used in a partnership setting, a joint local authority/NHS centre for children with learning difficulties and their families)
- Salford Spotlights (locality action planning)
- Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership
More recent case studies were published on the Work Together site, which the Local Government Association trialled as a precursor to their Knowledge Hub:
- Social Innovation Lab for Kent (SILK)
- Oldham Reducing Teenage Pregnancy Through Information Sharing
- Green Flag Thematic Study: Improving Economic Prosperity During the Recession
- Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea’s Virtual School
The case studies were part of our work for IDeA/Local Government Improvement and Development under a framework contract for ‘Sustainable Communities’ and ‘Policy and Performance’. The Library also contained updated versions of case studies we originated for the predecessor site, Renewal.net – such as B&Q Bolton recruitment policies.
