In October 2024, we participated in a Corporate Peer Challenge run by the Local Government Association.
Corporate Peer Challenge is a tried and trusted tool for improvement offered to councils. It involves a team of senior local government officers and councillors spending time at a council to provide challenge, offer feedback and share learning.
All Corporate Peer Challenges focus on the five core components listed below:
- local priorities and outcomes
- organisational and place leadership
- governance and culture
- financial planning and management
- capacity for improvement
In addition, we asked our peer team for some feedback about our approach to customer services and overall customer experience.
During their three-day visit to Wychavon, the team gathered information and views from around 45 meetings, went on two mini-tours of parts of the district and carried out further research and reading. They spoke to more than 120 people, including employees, councillors and a range of our partners, external organisations and residents.
The peer team’s report provides a summary of the team’s findings and sets out some recommendations to help us progress from ‘good to great’. We welcome the positive feedback and the useful areas for improvement and recommendations.
Our action plan in response to the peer team’s feedback and recommendations contains a mix of quick wins to be delivered within 12 months and longer-term actions to be delivered by the end of 2027.
Four members of the peer team revisited us on 25 October 2025 to undertake a progress review. This focussed on the eight recommendations from our Corporate Peer Challenge and our progress in implementing them. You can read the feedback from our progress review below.
