Improvement and Development Agency for local government (IDeA)
The IDeA works for local government improvement so councils can serve people and places better. The IDeA promotes the development of local government's management and workforce. We help to develop talented leaders and managers, from graduates to chief executives, from top teams to frontline staff.
We work with Local Government Employers and with councils to encourage a motivated, productive and diverse workforce with a stronger customer and citizen focus.
The IDeA is delighted to sponsor the Council Worker of the Year Awards.
