Knowledge Partners

Public sector organisations across the UK have developed on-line domains for the sharing of knowledge to support improvement in services to citizens and communities through the capture, sharing and transfer of knowledge and learning.

Good Practice Wales Knowledge Partners are public sector agencies from across the UK, to realise common objectives which are:

  • to support improvement in public services through knowledge transfer

  • to have better informed, more knowledgeable service providers and service users which in turn will facilitate better value and more efficient and more effective services for the citizens

  • to change behaviours by helping people move from a position of ‘knowing one way of doing something’ to ‘knowing better ways of doing the same thing’, and implementing those ‘better ways’.
