- background into SROI, how it is used
- In other words, they need to take steps to show that they have been through a consideration process to reduce any challenge (with consultation if necessary), but how they wish to do this will depend on the body in question. It’s our hope at nef that public bodies will use the Act as an opportunity to gain better value from their commissioning, maximising the returns to society rather than aiming for the bare minimum to avoid legal challenge.
- After efficiency, it’s all about quality – measure of effectiveness, measuring what matters to stakeholder holders.VfM isn’t this ‘thing’ that you doWHY IS THIS IMPORTANT WHEN WE CONSIDER THE CURRENT SITUATION LINKS BETWEEN SUSTAINABLE EMPLOYMENT, LOCAL ECONOMY, LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TRADE OFF BETWEEN ECONOMIC OUTCOMES AND WELLBEINGUsed to look at policies and interventions- nef has done a lot of work looking at interventions and on a wider scale has produced some controversial reports- what different professions are worth to society. It’s about looking past the easy to access data and moving to the “so what..?”.
