Beacon Council Scheme
The Beacon Scheme was introduced in 1999 to identify excellence in local government from which others can learn. Local authorities and other best value authorities (eg Police, Fire, National Parks) - and increasingly, wider partnerships - are awarded Beacon status on the strength of excellence in the delivery of services, supported by good overall performance and effective plans for spreading good practice.
Communities and Local Government uses social research and economic analysis on local governance issues to inform policy-making. Our research publications relating to the Beacon Scheme can be found below.
