The Public Services Forum (PSF) was formed in 2003 to improve dialogue between Government, public service trade unions and employers and enable joint work on workforce reform issues that impact on public services. Its central goal is to improve the delivery and citizen's experience of public services.
While it does not have a formal decision-making role, its work does help ensure more active involvement of the workforce in a range of cross-cutting issues that impact across different public services and more effective implementation of change.
The Forum does not duplicate or displace discussions that should rightfully be addressed on a bilateral basis between central Government departments, public service employers, and relevant trade unions.
The secretariat for the PSF is provided by Cabinet Office, liaising closely with the TUC. The plenary Forum has met seven times since its inception to oversee and drive forward its work programme. Minutes of each meeting are reproduced below.
