The Co-operative Party’s policy platform sets the agenda for our party and its representatives, and puts forward our to-do list for Parliament. In the tradition of co-operation it is member-led and your opportunity to shape the ideas we’ll take to all levels of Government and all members are invited to share their views and ideas through our consultation. This year, the policy consultation focuses on two areas – one seeks to tackle the crisis in our social care sector, the other at how we save and revitalise our town centres and high streets.
We are keen to great examples of co-operation and co-operative values in practice. You may have attended some of our online regional, Wales and Scotland conferences, our Diversity Network events or you may have meet virtually with your local party meeting to discuss the topics and share your views. Now we want to hear them – either from your branch, Party Council or your individual view. Your contributions will be collected and considered by the NEC’s policy sub-committee, who use your ideas and feedback to shape policy proposals. These will be brought to the Co-operative Party annual conference in the Autumn for delegates to debate and vote on.
If you want to hear more about how to frame your policy submissions, please join Anna Birley – Co-operative Party POlicy Officer on Zoom on Monday 7 June 2021 to hear more.
