Evaluation

Rose Regeneration evaluates activities undertaken by public bodies, including local authorities and central Government. We provide unique perspectives on how well public services are being delivered and how they could be improved, from the point of view of those receiving and using those services.

Examples of recent projects include:

How East Midlands Local Authorities are supporting the Economic Recovery
East Midlands Councils and East Midlands Improvement & Efficiency Partnership
This project reviewed the community support and business support offered by 44 Councils in the East Midlands region. In addition to a final report, Rose Regeneration developed a Toolkit and Case Study Digest.
