The Public Chairs' Forum Information

Public Chairs’ Forum (PCF) is a unique membership network, exclusive to Chairs of Public Bodies. PCF seeks to strengthen UK public services, by providing peer support, insight, inspiration and education for Chairs of Public Bodies. Our meetings, events, workshops and research, help PCF members gain the insider’s perspective on the key issues of the day. We offer PCF members a range of support, from peer to peer learning to networking events. PCF members are frequently invited to engage with central government consultations, roundtables and projects influencing change across public bodies. Sarah Healey CB, Permanent Secretary at the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport is PCF central government sponsor. Membership of PCF is available to Arm’s-Length Bodies; whether Non-Departmental Public Bodies (NDPB) or Executives Agencies, ranging in size and operating in a variety of field from regulation to operational delivery.
