Partners for Change - Fife Early Years Service

In the first half of 2013, Fife Council, in conjunction with members of its Early Years Strategy Group from NHS Fife and the Third Sector, participated in the Partners for Change process to review delivery of Early Years services in Fife and explore the opportunities to involve the Third Sector earlier and more deeply in the planning and delivery of Early Years services.
Championing Social Value - Brendan Hurrell

Brendan joined Inverclyde Council in 2010 as its Corporate Procurement Manager. He was a member of the first ever Partners for Change Programme in Scotland. This is a tried and tested process of securing better local outcomes through improved collaboration with the third sector. The programme is supported by the Ready for Business programme with funding from The Scottish Government. Brendan found this process and the learning that came out has informed his current approach to procurement within Inverclyde Council.
