Mutualisation – an alternative model for Arms Length Bodies

Our latest report, Mutualisation – an alternative model for Arms Length Bodies provides information and guidance on how mutuals could work in Arms Length Bodies. The exploration of alternative models of service delivery forms part of the Government’s drive to realise the Big Society. ALBs are urged to think creatively about how they might be able to deliver their services differently, both in the interest of improving the efficiency and effectiveness of their organisations and as part of the Government’s philosophical drive for devolution. This joint guide with the Institute for Government identifies the options that different ALBs could potentially adopt in the context of mutualisation.

Cabinet Office Checklist

PUBLIC CHAIRS' FORUM WEB APPLICATION

 checklist btn

Cabinet Office have recently produced a checklist to help Arms Length Bodies and Departments to ensure that the most important aspects of managing transitions are considered. Inevitably, no one transition is identical to another one and depending on the type of transition you are involved in, there will be certain things within the checklist that don't apply to the specific circumstances of your transition.

So, rather than having to explore which parts are relevant to your circumstances, the Public Chairs' Forum has designed an application that will do this for you. By answering some simple questions about your transition, the application will produce a customised report and checklist, ensuring you focus on the right issues at the right time. We hope that the combination of the checklist and application will help to bring clarity, focus and practical solutions to an often complex process. Download your personalised report here.
