Ingredients for success
The Local Government Service Group and Positively Public Unit of UNISON commissioned APSE (the Association of Public Service Excellence) to carry out research into what makes a good in-house service and what the ingredients of success were.
Documents & Links
The main aim was to demonstrate how factors such as staff, trade union and user involvement and consultation, experience, expertise and inter-service co-operation can all contribute to service improvement and good in-house services. The good practice demonstrated in these examples should encourage others to learn valuable lessons as part of delivering continuous improvement.

PFI’s reliance on the private sector was supposed to give public building programmes more rigour and strength but, as the union’s latest report - “Putting the Public Back into PFI” – shows, in reality it has exposed them to greater hazards and weaknesses. Public projects have been tainted by private failure
