In this blog, Lord Evans, looks forward to the government's response to the Committee's 2021 report as a real opportunity to repair and update the way standards are maintained and promoted in central government.
An approach which focuses only on compliance is a missed opportunity. Leaders have the opportunity to galvanise the people in their organisations to aim high.
Lord Evans, Committee Chair, reflects on public standards issues over the past year and calls for proactive and ongoing attention to standards to ensure the systems and processes are able to meet the challenges faced today.
