Citizen-Centred Service Design Award

Placing people at the centre of public services

Public services are the interface between the public and government; people care about public services and depend on their delivery. This award recognises new and successful approaches to service delivery, adopting a citizen-centred approach to better engage citizens and achieve better public outcomes. It is about recognising those who put the ‘public’ into the public service.
