Prof Donna Hall

Love this Joe!

Looking across recent policy announcements I think government is sending a clear signal on desired goals without being prescriptive.

Places can improve outcomes by joining these policy dots & working in a whole-system way. Big moment for us all.

100% right Joe

Civil service is ‘too remote’ from people’s lives across UK, says minister Whitehall must work more with frontline services as part of plans to move offices from London, says Georgia Gould

"Help close the “big gap between those doing the frontline operational roles & those who are making policies” by helping them to work together, share data & come up with new ideas about how to improve people’s lives"

What a gorgeous evening.
Skylarks, stonechats, swallows and other songsters. Clouds of tiny moths, dancing flies and gentle waves.
Sound up. Enjoy 😊

Spot on this … Couldn’t agree more! What say you @stkaye.bsky.social @charliepickles.bsky.social @profdonnahall.bsky.social @mutualventures.bsky.social @lgawellbeing.bsky.social @evefrancisholt.bsky.social

"We are being lured into that most destructive of myths: that the essential human position is as an individual purchaser acquiring desirable goods – not a contributor to the building of a trustworthy network of relations, dependable enough to allow more people to become active&generous contributors"

Hi Christopher. We are both at a Manchester event with practitioners. Important that action is sustained day after day rather than relying on an annual event run by talkers not doers.

The social contract is broken, argues @profdonnahall.bsky.social - to remake the State we must rebuild that contract in partnership with citizens

5 common sense doable shifts, we can all contribute to making these happen, right?

2/2 Many public service leaders know the current system is not meeting the needs of the people they serve. They see it and are ready to challenge it. If you are one of those people then we would love to hear from you!

1/2 When Power Forgets the People... local/mayoral election results showed faith in public leaders & services has eroded. The social contract has worn thin. Inspired by others, @profdonnahall.bsky.social & I suggest a series of “shifts” to re-establish trust. www.mutualventures.co.uk/post/when-po...

So excited for your your new chapter Donna ❤️

1700 children referred to childrens social care every single day. That’s 6 whole primary schools. We urgently need better early help for families, proper support for children going into care and to address poverty which underpins so much of this www.local.gov.uk/about/news/l...
