2025 Best Practice Guide - Raising Standards

To mark our 25-year anniversary we will be doing something different by expanding the Best Practice Guide with different editions throughout the year. This first digital edition was launched alongside our Best Practice Programme in January 25.

The third edition will include the case studies from The Forum Awards, with all Innovation & Transformation, Partnerships and Best Practice finalists in time for our Best Practice Showcase in June 25.

What is important is that we continue to provide this valuable resource for our community of best practice and demonstrate how we are moving forward.
