About NCLG

The National Centre for Local Governance provides expert consultancy and training to help drive improvement in councils and their public sector partners.

Our purpose is people. We are driven by the belief that good local government can change people’s lives for the better.

We know local government. We have a deep appreciation of its complex networks, the demands of its public, the member-officer relationship, and the social and financial pressures it faces.

We’re here to help. We work with councils, combined authorities and other public sector clients to better equip them to serve the public, develop resilience and navigate the path to improvement.

The future is uncertain. At a time of anticipated change for many in our sector, NCLG is here to support councils and their partners to create effective governance arrangements and proactively shape the culture of new authorities.

Our offer is bespoke. We draw upon experts from local government, academia, planning, children’s services, law, education and health to build the right team for your consultancy and training needs.
