Local authorities strategic support

Wellbeing is a relevant, credible and measurable way to connect policy goals with policy outcomes in a way that matters to people’s lives.

We have partnered with the Health Foundation to deliver a programme of support for local authorities and their partners to place wellbeing evidence at the heart of policy and practice.

We do this by:

• measuring, exploring and understanding the distribution of wellbeing in an area
• using wellbeing analysis to shape policy and practice
• understanding how existing powers and duties can be used to maximise wellbeing impact
• measuring the wellbeing impact of policy and projects
• providing opportunities for collaboration and learning
