Local government is undergoing its most significant structural transformation in over 50 years, bringing major implications for communications teams and the wider public sector. Alongside this, the sector is also experiencing substantial political shifts.

This workshop will explore how to navigate these changes and how communications teams can adapt their strategies to align with evolving priorities and expectations. It will cover how to build and nurture new relationships, thrive in uncertain environments, and develop political awareness, particularly at the officer/member interface.

The session will also unveil the latest results from the LGA Heads of Communication Survey, offering insight into the concerns, priorities, and aspirations of communications leaders across the country.
