  • Summary

  • Welcome to the Truth about public sector podcast.

    The Public sector is a key component of our society. Sometimes as a member of the public it can be difficult to understand what challenges they are facing, the solutions they are implementing and fundamentally how that affects our day-to-day lives.

    The purpose of this podcast is to shine a light on topics and issues that are prevalent in public sector organisations across the UK at the present time. And hopefully by shining a light on the problems being faced and the solutions being implemented, it will drive greater engagement from the public with public sector organisations across the UK.
