The National Policy Forum Annual Report 2021
The Party has now published this year’s National Policy Forum Annual Report, which can be found here. This report will be taken to Annual Conference in September 2021, and if passed by delegates, will form part of our policy platform.
In late 2020, the work of the NPF was written up into eight interim reports, one per policy commission. These contained a set of principles for each policy commission, and members, affiliates and stakeholders were invited to send in their comments on these principles.
As a CLP we held two All Member discussions in August 2020, on Justice and Home Affairs and Social Care, that resulted in two submissions being made to the NPF for consideration when drafting the frameworks for these policy areas.
The updated principles are outlined in this report, alongside the issues the policy commissions have discussed and the findings from the 2021 NPF Consultation. These principles and issues do not cover every policy issue, nor detail specific policies; rather, they form a starting point for a wider conversation on how we can make Britain the best place to grow up, grow old and live in. The NPF will continue to build upon this work over the course of the policy making cycle as we work towards the next General Election.
This report can be referenced back; a process where particular sections of the report can be referred back to the relevant policy commission. Reference backs will be voted on at Conference during the relevant debate and if passed the relevant policy commissions will be asked to consider the reference back at their next meeting.
