Help shape party policy in two working groups

The Federal Policy Committee is advertising for members for two new policy working groups: Reform of Public Services, and Tackling Crime and Reform of the Criminal Justice system.
The Public Services group will look at overarching issues relevant to all public services, including themes like decentralisation and user empowerment, and also address specific policy issues in major services like education and health.
The other group will look at all aspects of preventing and reducing crime and the fear of crime, through the whole range of policy interventions.
Both groups are expected to produce policy papers for the Autumn 2014 party conference.
The work of these groups will deliver a big part of our policy platform for the 2015 election - so I would encourage party members who feel they can contribute creative policy ideas to put themselves forward.
For an application form for these working groups please email the Policy Unit on thomas.panton@libdems.org.uk . The deadline for applications is Monday 17th June 2013.
