View on demand: Producing your local Get Britain Working Plan

Catch up on our webinar Producing your local Get Britain Working Plan, held on 8th May 2025 at 1.30-2.30 PM.

Every area - led by Combined Authorities (where they exist) or groups of local authorities (where they do not) - has been asked to produce their own local Get Britain Working plan. Last month, DWP published guidance on what it expects from these plans and when.

This webinar explored what areas are doing to produce their plan. Key questions we covered included:

• How should you go about producing the plan and vision for your area?

• How can you work with local stakeholders to change the conversation around work, health and skills and develop a unified understanding of priorities?

• How should you go about setting short-term goals and long term ambitions?

  
  

MV's John Copps was joined by expert guests to discuss their emerging local plans. The panel includes representation from a mature Combined Authority, a local authority not part of a Combined Authority, and an ICB that is coterminous with an established group of local authorities.

Our guests were:

• Nic Witton-Dowd, Assistant Director, Education, Work & Skills, Greater Manchester Combined Authority

• Judy Gibbs, Head of Skills & Employability, Worcestershire County Council

• Rachel Parker, Work, Health & Skills Strategy Lead, NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR) ICB
