Head Start Done Right: A better way to reorganise local government
About this episode
Oliver talks with Nick Clark about the Government's Head Start process and its implications for local government reorganisation.
In this episode, Oliver talks with Nick Clark about the Government's Head Start process, which asks councils to put forward their own reorganisation proposals or have changes imposed on them. Nick draws on his report Head Start Done Right to question whether the amalgamation the process points towards would deliver the efficiencies the Government expects, and argues instead for subsidiarity, keeping decisions at the most local level rather than consolidating them upwards.
