CIPFA Speaks! Podcast Featuring Breaking Barriers Innovations
In June this year, our Partnerships Director, Nic Werran and Research Director, Dr Jon Bashford spoke with CIPFA as part of their CIPFA Speaks! podcast series.
They talk about how we can best understand what ‘place’ means for the individual, not just the system, Dr Jon Bashford talks through our recent Playbook work in Portsmouth, and CIPFA share their ideas about why being able to measure prevention is so important to improving services.
You can also access this through CIPFA’s website, Apple Podcast, and Spotify.
