“Communities of Practice for local government” has re-branded to “Communities of Practice for Public Service”.  This name better reflects the fact that this platform brings together people across the public service including those who are working for their communities on a voluntary basis.

Everyone ♥’s a sharer!

Communities

  • Big Society

    • Started:
    • Jul 2010
    • 403 members
    The Big Society community exists to give the wide variety of people it involves an opportunity to share approaches, learning and experience. By sharing this knowledge, people can easily identify what works and what doesn?t, and help to develop tools to help contribute to its success.

  • Environmental Sustainability and Climate Change Community

    • Started:
    • Aug 2007
    • 1256 members
    This community is for those working in and with local government on environmental sustainability and climate change. The CoP's purpose is to enable interaction between like-minded professionals to help them develop their work. When you join this community, we'll send you regular fortnightly email updates about the latest things happening in the community. You can opt-out of updates at any time. For guidance on policy and best practice in different subject areas, features, case studies and links to more online resources, go to the ESCC resource on the IDeA website: www.idea.gov.uk/environment
