Join our Transformation and Behaviour Change Leads group – a network of council officers working in behaviour change who meet to discuss developments in the transformation and behavioural insights landscape. Learn new techniques, network, and hear from guest speakers about new trials, results, and notable practice.
Who we are
Our Transformation and Behaviour Change Leads group supports officers who are working on behavioural change projects, with subjects ranging from public health to climate, environment, and waste to name a few.
What we do
Across the country, behavioural insights have been used across public services to generate low-cost interventions to improve service outcomes. The approach is based on the idea that interventions aimed at encouraging people to make better choices for themselves, and society will be more successful if they are based on insights from behavioural science.
The group provides councils with the space to share support, opportunities, and notable practice within the transformation and behavioural insights agenda.
The secretariat function is held by the LGA and the network is led by Chair Michelle Constable, Head of Behaviour Change Unit, Hertfordshire County Council.
Several subgroups have been set up by council officers, including:
Climate emergency subgroup
Co-chair: Laura Taylor, Environmental Engagement and Behaviour Change Manager, Kent County Council
Co-chair: Jonathan Baker, Insight and Engagement Unit, Hampshire County Council
Measuring impact subgroup
Co-chair: Michelle Constable, Head of Behaviour Change Unit, Hertfordshire County Council
Co-chair: Lucy Gate, Public Health Principal, Surrey County Council
Get involved
The group is open to new members who work in relevant officer roles for a local authority. If you would like to join, please submit an expression of interest form. If accepted, you will be added to the membership list and invited to all future meetings.
