The UK Government in partnership with Common Purpose’s About Time campaign has launched two brand new programmes:
* About Time Public Leaders (Advanced)

The courses are designed to support the government’s aim to increase the diversity of public body board members and the pool of talented individuals ready to take up public appointments, with wider representation including women, ethnic minorities and disabled people.
