In addition to the fully subsidised corporate peer challenge offer, we also offer more specific peer challenges for local authorities and often their relevant partners. We offer peer challenges focused on driving improvement and improving efficiency in specific areas.
These will focus on a high-level challenge and bring to bear highly-experienced peers in the relevant services areas. Each challenge will focus on issues identified in discussion with the local authority and its partners where this is relevant.
