The SLF Action Groups offer a safe space for members to consider and test new and innovative approaches to our shared policy challenges. Our members choose which issues they’d like to address, and these groups are independently run and self-sustaining. There is no set lifespan for these groups, and they can be agile, forming to address key issues at short notice.
Our two current action groups are at different life-stages with the Climate Leaders Action Group recently relaunched with a new membership, leadership and purpose and The Accountability and Incentives Action Group are looking to build upon their impactful work to date with a new podcast series focusing on bringing to life examples of leaders using the National Performance Framework to both shape and demonstrate their organisation’s contribution to achieving our shared National Outcomes.
The SLF Action Group on Child Poverty launch their new Commitment to End Child Poverty – A Call to Leaders, reflecting on learning from the national response to the COVID pandemic and the action needed to deliver the national mission to tackle child poverty. You can read the report here.
The SLF action group on Accountability and Incentives has been exploring ways for public service leaders to make it easier to build our contribution to the national outcomes into how we work, so it’s not yet another add-on but simply part of how we run our organisations. That requires the whole accountability system to look through a different lens. In this report, Leadership, collective ownership and delivering the national outcomes, we’ve set out how this can be achieved with some tools to help and some examples of good practice we can all learn from.
