CIPFA and SOLACE: how are you tackling spending cuts?
In our report last year – After the Downturn - we outlined scenarios for different levels of spending cuts. Which as we now are seeing turned out to be uncannily accurate! We also put forward three strategic options for public services in tackling the shortfall: redefining the relationship between the state and the individual, de-layering the public sector with more local decision-making, and greater pan-public sector collaboration.
As CIPFA and SOLACE develop the joint work begun with this report, we are now seeking to bring together live examples of how these options - or ideas like them - are being put to use in your organisation or area, please email drew.cullen@cipfa.org.uk.

Facing the cuts conference
With an unprecedented level of spending cuts ahead, the public services will need to find new ways of working to maintain service delivery and protect frontline services.
To support public service decision makers in meeting this challenge, CIPFA is bringing together leading thinkers and practitioners for a major conference on 8 September.
