Implementing the Public Service (Social Value) Act 2012

 View Chris White MP's talk at the Justice Academy last month here




Chris White MP first introduced the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012 as a private member's bill in June 2010, it came into effect in April 2013 and for the first time  all public bodies in England and Wales  are requited to consider  howthe services they commission might improve the economic, environmental and social well being of the area.

In this talk, Chris discusses how the Act is being implemented and how it seeks to change the way that public bodies design contracts. Chris also discusses  how the Act is aimed at benefiting social enterprises, charities and community organisations, as he believes these organisations can provide maximum public  benefit to the local community.
