Culture & Sport in the new political and financial landscape
September 2010
The new landscape
The Plates Have Moved
The world is changing…• Less resources
–The public sector could be 25% smaller in financial terms by 2014 (taking us back to mid 1990 levels)
–A greater focus required on better productivity
• Localism and big society–Rolling back the state and removing the ‘middle men’
–Devolution to councils
–Devolution to society
• Sector led improvement–Accountability to communities not central government
–Strategic partnerships and place based budgeting
–Delivering better outcomes more efficiently
What does it mean for culture and sport: Less resources• Reducing costs and increase productivity
• Increasing income through more participation
• More “philanthropy”
• New ways of delivering services?
• Sharing across boundaries (service & administrative)
• A focus on priority outcomes and place based budgeting
• Commissioning opportunities (health improvement, prevention & wider educational outcomes)
What does it mean for culture and sport: Localism and big society
• Less national policy and advocacy(more focus on local need & aspiration)
• Less Quangos and “middlemen” between government and communities (focus on schools, GPs, councils and individuals)
• Greater focus required on place based budgeting and strategic partnership working
• Greater opportunities for the third sector (if they have the capacity)
What does it mean for culture and sport: Sector led improvement• Greater reliance on local political leadership and managerial
competency

• A willingness to pool budgets and work together across boundaries

accreditation
