Resetting the relationship between local and national government. Read our Local Government White Paper
Our Behavioural Insights Programme is one of the many ways we support local authorities to innovate across all service areas.
Local authorities are under more pressure than ever, with decreasing resources and increasing demand for services which can act as a barrier to the take-up of innovative ideas. In order to combat this, the LGA has joint-funded several behavioural insights projects within councils – reducing the financial risk to the councils and encouraging innovation.
