Understanding Society - Summer 2010
The newsletter deals with key themes - public opinion on the role of government and the Big Society, how to deliver more for less through innovation, more involvemnet from charities and individual behaviour change, and how we engage the public in these difficult decisions.
The speed with which the coalition government has moved over the past few weeks has been remarkable. While there is still a huge amount unknown, and therefore challenges for those in government and other public bodies trying to figure out what's coming next, that is only to be expected given the fundamental shake-up being undertaken. This newsletter deals with these key themes - public opinion on the role of government and the Big Society, how to deliver more for less through innovation, more involvement from charities and individual behaviour change, and how we engage the public in these difficult decisions. We also give a quick overview of what might have been the "least boring election" ever (but already seems like an age ago).
