Our
Mission
Statement
Breaking Barriers is an independent project with the principal aim of radically improving the delivery of public services across the UK for maximum social impact.
Breaking Barriers works to achieve this by creating an open space for debate in which public service professionals, innovative suppliers, experts and other stakeholders devise new public service models based on innovative place-based working.
Breaking Barriers is guided by a founding philosophy that favours substance over formality and a theory of public value creation rooted in what is good, elegant and profitable – both economically and socially, place-based and locally empowered.
