Learn how to create a robust social media policy that your parish or town council can actually use.
We all know how easily social media can spiral and how quickly a single post can damage reputations, strain relationships, and erode respect across local government. It’s one of the most significant factors behind the decline in civility in our sector.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. With the right approach, social media can showcase your parish or town council as modern, positive, and connected. We have backed the need for clear, proactive social media policies to make this possible.
Join this insightful and practical event where you’ll:
Turn social media from a risk into your council’s strongest community connection.
