Transferring power and decision-making out of Westminster to local communities will reshape governance across the UK.
As County councils plan to take on more responsibility for local services, policies, and budgets, it will be important for them to communicate effectively with their communities.
Communicating complex devolution plans is challenging and the media, both traditional and digital, plays a critical role in ensuring that these messages reach residents, stakeholders, and decision-makers.
Effective communication is essential and leveraging Traditional Media still is important.
Despite the rise of digital communication, traditional media (newspapers, radio, and TV) still plays a critical role in reaching a broad audience.
The success of devolution hinges on community involvement. Engaging with residents and building trust through the media and at public meetings will help to manage expectations, increase ownership and encourage involvement in the decision making.
Tailored Media Training and Presentation Skills training will empower your key councillors and senior leaders with the skills they need to communicate effectively and drive your plans forward.
Devolution plans are complicated, and informing and engaging with the public effectively is challenging, especially when your spokespeople have to face demanding media interviews and deal with awkward questions at public meetings.
Don’t let them do it without tailored presentation skills and media training for councillors.
Let our BBC and ITN experienced trainers empower your spokespeople with the skills they need to listen well and deliver clear, concise, and consistent messages in media interviews and at public meetings.
