Despite many successive administrations’ attempts to modernise and improve the civil service, deep-rooted challenges remain, with instability and falling morale. How can we embed positive change in the Whitehall machine – change that lasts?In the wake of the fallout from Brexit, the global pandemic, and the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, a well-functioning civil service is more critical than ever to the future success of the nation.Drawing on insights from a major new report featuring candid reflections from current and former civil servants, our panel will discuss the current health of civil service culture, structure and operations, as well as the main barriers that continue to impede its systemic capabilities.Join us at the RSA to explore what could go right for Whitehall: the challenges ahead, the state of the workforce, and the practical reforms that could be the key both to better government and to Britain’s future prosperity.In partnership with Reform#RSAReformBecome an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.
