Co-operative Peer Review Commission

About the Co-operative Councils Innovation Network Commission on Developing a Co-operative Peer Review Process

The Co-operative Councils Innovation Network launched a commission to develop a co-operative peer review process in July 2015. The Commission was chaired by Councillor Chris Penberthy (Shadow Cabinet Member for Cooperatives and Housing at Plymouth City Council), and comprised of a mixed group of Members and officers, from Edinburgh, Bassetlaw and Oldham Councils.

The ambition of the Co-operative Peer Review Commission was to develop a flexible Co-operative Peer Review Process to help support co-operative councils in improving their organisations’ ability to respond co-operatively to local priorities and issues. Plymouth assumed the role of lead commissioner carrying out the research and creating the products based on the input from the commissioning group
