Training for Local Resilience Forums

Helping multiagency responders communicate clearly, consistently, and with confidence during emergencies.

Why Media and Communication Skills Matter

In a crisis, clear communication can save lives. Local Resilience Forums bring together multiple agencies, but without coordination, messages risk becoming inconsistent, confusing, or even conflicting. Our training ensures responders speak with one voice, building public trust and protecting the integrity of the incident response.

What to expect

This is a practical, interactive, and engaging full-day course. You will work as a multi-agency ‘team under time pressure’ on a series of realistic scenarios. You will handle issues such as natural disasters, terrorist incidents, and public health crises. Preparing your responses, rehearsing, and communicating consistent key messages to a range of audiences, including challenging broadcast media interviews.

We aim to build your skills, resilience, and confidence, enabling your team to manage stress and deliver clear, consistent messages in high-pressure situations.
