The LGA is introducing an expanded suite of leadership development offers as part of its newly launched sector support programme, which will include a dedicated curriculum for chief executive development.

The Local Government Association has launched its Sector Support Programme for 2023/24 to provide councils with the tools and support they need to deliver vital local services to communities, while helping to address challenges, drive forward change and improvement.

The LGA is now seeking the sector’s views on the principles of assurance and accountability and asking for ideas on how the framework can be improved.

The LGA has begun to work with the sector, professional associations, and other groups to map the different elements which currently provide assurance of the performance of local government, in the interests of clarity and transparency and to help understanding of how they all fit together.
