Boards and Groups

Within ADEPT’s structure there are two types of board: Subject Boards and Sub-National Boards.

These enable ADEPT members across the country to come together to formulate policy and advice to government and to share best practice.

Both Subject and Sub-National boards report periodically to the Leadership Team.

The main areas of work of the Subject Boards are covered by specialised Working Groups. You will find more information on these Working Groups below.

For an overview of all boards and working groups please see the board structure chart.

Subject Boards

The subject boards take a lead on key strategic issues and policies and/or operational matters within their remit. Attached to each subject board there are a variety of specialised working groups and panels each with a more specific remit. For example, the Environment Board has sub-groups for water, waste, energy, green infrastructure and resilience.

Regional Boards

ADEPT's Regional Boards are regional groups of local government professionals, who collaborate on shared challenges and opportunities. They bring together place directors and other experts from across their geographical areas to address common priorities and promote innovation.

The Boards provide forums where strategic cross boundary issues can be addressed, knowledge sharing can take place and best practice can be exchanged among members facing similar challenges in place based services. The Regional Boards engage with government, national agencies, other ADEPT boards and working groups, and external bodies to inform policy, guidance and practice. They also respond to national consultations and support training in key skills and tools.
