What the fire taught us

Over the early part of 2018, the Centre for Public Scrutiny, working with the Democratic Society, led an independent study of governance for Kensington & Chelsea RLBC.

All of this would take place in the context of the people, community, borough and council continuing to respond to the tragedy.

In this context, it could be argued that it was not a good time to carry out a review of governance. It could have been seen as a technical response at a time when empathy, caring and humility were rightly being demanded on all fronts.
