Measuring an Organisation’s Social Impact & Value in Lancaster

Measuring an Organisation’s Social Impact & Value

Organisations are faced with a number of challenges that range from the tough economic climate to the changes to customers and service user requirements i.e. personal health budget and changes to those who procure services for the public sector.

The Public Service (social value) Act became law on the 8^th March 2012, It requires all public sectors commissioning in the future to consider social value within all future tenders. It defines a requirement for organisations to demonstrate their social, economic and environmental impact on society. Are you able to demonstrate your social value?

 It is essential for you to understand how to demonstrate your value. Do you have a tailored approach to measuring your social impact that demonstrates your social value? Do you know your impact of the local economy, on health, education, employment etc. If not, this training is for you.
