Lessons Learned: Strengthening relations with local delivery bodies in education

A classroom, pupils sit behind desks. One pupil has her hand raised to ask a question. A teacher stands at the front of the classroom.

This report is designed to encourage the Department for Education (DfE), and wider government, to consider how to ensure effective relationships with local delivery bodies. It brings together insights from our previous work on how to get these relationships right.


Our work often examines how well central government departments work with local bodies to deliver public services. This includes DfE, which works with schools, early years settings and residential care providers, often through local authorities, to deliver its strategic objectives.
