What we do
The core activities of the PB Unit are:
- Co-ordinating & providing information on PB activities in the UK
- Setting and monitoring the values, principles and standards of PB in the UK to ensure integrity
- Providing technical support such as resources and tools
- Providing practical support through enabling, facilitating and training
- Facilitating peer and regional learning
- Research into PB in the UK and Internationally and providing learning and dissemination
Our ambitions for PB are:
- A place based focus on neighbourhoods and the principle of localism present a real opportunity.
- Developing processes which delegate some local service commissioning to neighbourhood/ward level, not least as a means of levelling the playing field for local organisations,
- Develop stronger connections between PB and prevention and early intervention strategies
- Developing local authority-wide PB processes on core budgets
- Develop the idea of using PB on 1% of a budget
- Use PB in town and parish areas to debate issues of taxation at the local level
