Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, with reference to page 107 of the Civil Society Strategy, published in August 2018, what steps his Department has taken to share the lessons learned by local authorities who are leading the way in co-designing, co-producing and co-delivering their services with users and their local communities.

Through our Enabling Social Action programme, we are supporting local authorities to co-design, co-produce and co-deliver their services with users and their local communities. So far we have delivered three national learning events, selected four regional champions, set up action learning partnerships with six local authorities, and shared learning with a peer network of over 900 commissioners, civil society organisations and councillors across the country.
