Westco and LGcomms event
Fri 11 April 2025
12:00 – 1:00pm.
Join us for an interactive lunch and learn session on Friday April 11th where we’ll unpack the Government’s Devolution agenda and what it means for communications, consultation, and engagement in local government.
Key discussion points will include:
- How will devolution reshape the role of local government communicators? What new challenges and opportunities will arise in public engagement, reputation management, and citizen participation?
- What skills and strategies do we need to navigate the evolving local government landscape? How can communicators and engagement specialists stay ahead of changes?
- How can local authority comms teams foster collaboration in a devolved system? What role should communications play in supporting new regional partnerships and engaging communities effectively?
Join us online for a lively discussion led by Ian Farrow, Managing Director at Westco, and gain practical insights to help your team navigate this changing environment.
