Strategic Public Social Partnership Model

This research, commissioned by the Scottish Government Third Sector Unit, sought to explore the progress, to date, of the Strategic Public Social Partnership (PSP) model in Scotland. In order to assess the progress of the model, a realist evaluation was carried out and sought to contextualise the Scottish model within current academic debates around co-production. The research also provided a review of alternative PSP models being delivered internationally and elsewhere in the UK.
