1. Cooperative Councils towards a five year forward view
Dr Henry Kippin

2. Three questions and three conclusions… so far
Cooperative Councils have made important progress against their stated aims
BUT - Cooperative Councils cannot yet evidence a strong relationship between cooperative ambition, principles and practice positive change in local outcomes
SO - The next five years need to be about more systematically building the pre-conditions for deeper public service reform as a route to a more socially and economically sustainable future.
What progress have Cooperative Councils made in the past five years?
Where has progress been lacking?
What should the next 5 years look like for Cooperative Councils?

3. The landscape has shifted…
