Social value governance
We track and check the progress and delivery of social value. The Deputy Executive Member for Finance and Resources currently chairs the Social Governance Board. And a social value 'task and finish' group looks at the way we work. They ensure all our services apply social value.
We:
- embed social value in the award of contracts and services
- embed social value in reporting on and delivering key targets
- support staff development across the Council to promote the importance of social value
- connect organisations making the most of opportunities to address local need
- explore and make the most of all social value opportunities
- align social value to City strategies such as Making Manchester Fairer, Investing in Success, and Climate Action Plans
- communicate what we have achieved to inspire others.
