Tender: Media, Social Media and Presentation Training for LGA Councillors and Local Authority Staff

About

The Local Government Association is seeking a supplier for high-quality media, social media and digital skills training that can be adapted for different local government audiences including communications teams, officers in non-communications roles and councillors at both senior and backbench levels. The training should be tailored to participants from beginners to those wanting to use existing knowledge more strategically, based on modern communications trends and best practice across a range of local government issues. The supplier will deliver media training sessions for LGA lead members and for councillors within individual local authorities as part of the LGA’s communications support, including one-to-one, group and refresher sessions; assess and address individual needs prior to and during training; and ensure participants can speak confidently and effectively in broadcast and print media on behalf of the LGA and/or their local authority, embed key messages and navigate the distinction between representing the LGA and personal or party views. Further details are continued in Appendix 1 of the attached ITT document.
