You’ll walk away with a self-assessment for your current data, a practical playbook for the quarter ahead, and a clearer way to articulate the risk to your leadership.

From Policy to Proof: Delivering Social Value & Value for Money in Central Government
this event has passed
Online
Social value is no longer just a policy requirement. It is increasingly a question of proof. As scrutiny intensifies across central government and ALBs, expectations have shifted from reporting activity to demonstrating credible, audit-ready evidence of impact and value for money.
This iGov Live webinar explores what that shift means in practice. Drawing on real examples, our panel will examine the purpose social value is meant to serve, the challenges teams face in reporting it robustly, and how stronger data and governance can turn social value into a defensible economic and decision-making tool rather than a tick-box exercise.
