f@w at Civil Service Live
One of the key objectives of Civil Service Live was to promote best practice and to inspire innovation across the civil service. More than 200 high quality, practical workshops and plenary sessions were held, with a range of acclaimed and prestigious speakers. Civil Service Live also offered NICS staff the opportunity to build new relationships across the public, voluntary and private sectors and the chance to learn about good practice and innovation from colleagues in England, Scotland and Wales.
