About SPSL

The Suffolk Public Sector Leaders group was formed in 2009 to consider issues of strategic importance to Suffolk, supported by the Suffolk Chief Officers Leadership Team (SCOLT) and Suffolk County Council provides the direct support.

There are five formal public meetings of the group each year and the meetings are held in different areas around Suffolk. Agendas and documents will be published in advance of the meetings. This is part of the group’s ambition to operate in an open and transparent way. Read the Suffolk Public Sector Leaders group terms of reference (PDF, 82KB).
