The future of the public servant

On this episode of Policy Forum Pod, Helen Sullivan, Helen Dickinson, and Hayley Henderson join us to discuss the changing role of the public servant, the importance of integrity and accountability, and public services in a time of major disruption.


What role does history play in shaping the values of a particular civil service? How do public servants negotiate issues of integrity and ethics when political leaders are under investigation for unethical or corrupt behaviour? And what does the future look like for the public service? Professor Helen Sullivan, Professor Helen Dickinson, and Dr Hayley Henderson - contributors to the new Palgrave Handbook of the Public Servant - join Professor Sharon Bessell and Dr Arnagretta Hunter on this episode of Policy Forum Pod.
