5: Local government reform and future public sector reform - what these changes mean for Scotland

3.30pm – 4.30pm GMT, 9 November 2026 ‐ 1 hour

Room: Hermitage-Iona Suite

Session

Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) is more than a structural reshuffle – it’s a complex transformation that impacts governance, service delivery, assets, liabilities, and risk exposure. While the focus often falls on political and operational changes, insurance considerations are equally critical to ensuring a smooth and legally compliant transition. This session will focus on insurance and the essential actions that need to be undertaken to support organisations through this change along with some lessons learnt from previous reorganisations.
