Great to be at @uofgpolicy.bsky.social #StopStart conference on public sector reform. Hearing @jimmccormick.bsky.social open the day with a sense of hope for what can be achieved urging us to move towards the “bright spots” of what is working already to help reduce child poverty and support families
Lots of interest in Professor Graeme Roy's presentation as he sets out the budget challenges at our #StopStart event.

We're delighted to welcome colleagues from across Scotland’s public policy and research communities to @glasgow.ac.uk today for our #StopStart event📍🚦
We've kicked off this morning hearing from Jim McCormick @therobertsontrust.bsky.social and Permanent Secretary Joe Griffin.
Great Q&A session during which the Permanent Secretary suggests developing an opportunity register to go alongside the established risk register. A very interesting idea that could form part of a positive public policy agenda?
