A Practitioners’ Guide to Spinning Out

Report

This is a guide written from the practitioners’ point of view. It gives an honest, realistic and open account of what a commissioner or senior manager is likely to experience in the journey from in-house public service to spin-out mutual.

A Practitioners’ Guide to Spinning Out addresses this gap, and is based on a co-design workshop with frontline professionals.
