Updated 6th May: Included link to submitted WordPress sites so far:
I am conducting some research into the use of WordPress as a CMS /Website Platform for Public Sector Organisations. I am keen to understand the scale of implementation and the variety for which it has been used.
In Devon for example our Schools Web Development team, have started using WordPress as a the default platform for any new school website. Also the corporate web team here have started using WordPress to provide a platform for some partnership / project sites
I might consider looking to extend this survey to include voluntary sector in the future, but at the moment i am keen to understand where in the public sector WordPress has been used.
I have put together a very simple Google Form to collect the URL’s of Public Sector sites powered by WordPress. I would have embedded it here directly but you can’t with a WordPress.com site.
Select here to submit some WordPress powered sites:
Thank you in advance for any contribution you make :o)
You can view the WordPress sites which have been submitted so far here

yes, but you can’t embed the content into a wordpress.com site. I have however managed to do this function in a wordpress.org site i have access to.
A couple of helpful lists to get you started:

Oh… and between you and me, depending on what happens on Thursday, there could be a few more. I don’t think I’m allowed to say any more than that.
Thanks Simon – excellent stuff
Hrmmmm interesting stuff! Thank you…
Carl,
Thought provoking as ever. I have a view on WordPress et all being used as web publishing tools. It’s a bit long for here so I have published it here – with a reference to your site.
