This session is co-facilitated along side an experienced local government councillor to help give the delegates a better understanding of a councillor’s perspective, and is tailored to the unitary context.
By the end of the workshop, delegates will:
- Explore the importance of the member/officer relationship, gaining an understanding of the councillor’s perspective and learning what to do to make sure the relationship remains a strong and professional one.
- Gain a better understanding of why the same information may need to be communicated differently depending on the audience.
- Learn how to exercise sound judgement in politically sensitive situations as well as learning to identify potential political sensitivities before they become issues.
