Connecting Policy and Delivery: Sheffield's Opportunity Mission
Ministers announced plans for a grassroots approach to policymaking for the opportunity mission in South Yorkshire.
The government aims to get civil service policy professionals "away from their desks" and onto the front line of service delivery.
The Community Mission Challenge
Launched by then-Cabinet Office minister Georgia Gould in June, the challenge involves three government campuses: Darlington, Leeds, and Sheffield.
- Each campus is allocated one of Prime Minister Keir Starmer's "missions" to work on.
- They will work in conjunction with nearby local authorities and academics.
