Inclusive Growth Network

The IGN is an initiative hosted by the @CentreProPolicy, which supports places across the UK to translate inclusive growth from theory to practice.

In 2020 we launched the Inclusive Growth Network, with four years of grant funding from @jrf_uk.

Congratulations on this insightful report from Dr Sarah Crozier @mmu_decentwork "We hope these findings will help support the translation of EDI policy into lived experience within the workplace" @IGN_tweets @CentreProPolicy @GoodEmpCharter

In a context where borrowing costs continue to rise and fiscal rules are tight, drawing creatively on the full suite of policy and reform tools to support growth will gain even greater urgency without the option to raise spending.

This means working creatively with place 👇

It’s great to see @CentreforCities highlighting the importance of a place-based approach to Local Growth plans.

This is something that IGN members from around the UK have long understood as a key to driving inclusive growth everywhere. (1/3)

There is much to celebrate in the English Devolution White Paper, but we need to be realistic about what it is - a first step towards embedding more meaningful power for places.

More from me below.

[Growth and Reform Network @GrowthandReform]

A new report from @LabourTogether has identified a public appetite for greater mayoral control in the context of a 'crisis of confidence'.

See this clip with @Samfr where our Director of Place and Practice @annabel___smith argues that 'default devolution' can provide solutions👇

🚨Don't miss this special episode of the Power Test Podcast!

CPP's @annabel___smith argues that 'we need to shift the conversation to devolution to empowering places as imperative rather than experiment.'

Thanks to all speakers, attendees, those who tuned in online to our #IGConf24, and to our brilliant host @ayeshahazarika!

The day set out a clear case for cross-tier collaboration to embed inclusive growth and progress the government's missions.

[Peter Mason @_petermason]

A big few weeks for Local Government.

💷 A budget and now a policy statement that invests in local communities
🏗️ Devolution plans that will push power back to local communities too.

Pleased to see @JimfromOldham deliver his remarks earlier at the CPP’s conference.

[Annabel Smith @annabel___smith]

Great to have @JimfromOldham's keynote at our #IGConf24 speaking to government's commitment to resetting the partnership of power between the centre + our local areas.

Setting the scene for our emerging work with @FutureGovForum + @metrodynamics to evolve on our @IGN_tweets

Very proud of what team @IGN_tweets @CentreProPolicy has achieved over the past four years in supporting places to advance what inclusive growth means for the UK, grounded in real world practice.

But this is just the beginning.
