  The future of policing

  Policing in the UK is based on 'policing by consent', but recent data shows a decrease in public approval and trust in the police in the UK. We spoke with Rick Muir, Director of The Police Foundation, about the current state of policing in the UK, the perception gap the public have on police activities and how policing can be improved. In order to restore trust in policing, our data shows that presence, fairness, accountability and meaningful engagement are integral.

  The future of the UK workforce

  Future public services should enable people to develop skills and change career mid-life to meet the economy’s skills needs. Many people would change career and retrain but don’t know how. We discussed with Fiona Aldridge, Head of Insight at the West Midlands Combined Authority, how the WMCA Trailblazer devolution deal offered an opportunity to design solutions to integrate skills, employment, and careers services, and target funding at regional skills gaps. However, there remain national challenges for the devolution model to meet skills needs.

  The future of the NHS

  The NHS is currently facing significant pressures due to various challenges which will further escalate in the future if unaddressed. Additional funding and evolving NHS services are necessary remedies, as are the greater use of technology and measures to retain staff. But it’s also important to take action on areas outside of the NHS’s control like social care and the social determinants of health. Policy-making for the NHS should adopt a long-term approach, grounded in evidence and incorporating the perspectives of patients, the public and NHS staff in a meaningful way, to ensure that long-term investments are sustainable.

  The future of energy and climate adaptation

  The UK’s climate is undergoing significant changes. Our future will be affected by unprecedented climate events with far-reaching consequences for our economy and society, and the public services that assist us. But climate change is likely to have different impacts on different communities. The challenge lies in adapting to these changes in an equitable and just manner. Public services play a crucial role in this process by working to adapt to the impacts of climate change and ensuring the necessary measures are taken to address the specific needs of each community.
