Minutes:

The Head of Policy, Communication and Governance presented the Communications and Engagement Strategy 2019-2024.  The purpose of the strategy was to support the delivery of the Council’s priorities through communicating and engaging with the Council’s key stakeholders.  The Strategy set out the key messages, the channels used to deliver them and a high level action plan.

 

The Committee asked questions of the Kantar Precise media service which measured the impact of communications activity and the Council’s audience reach.  The information was updated daily and could identify any media coverage for the Borough Council.  Members felt that being provided quarterly by email would be sufficient for them. 

 

Feedback was also given from the Communities, Housing and Environment Committee on the need to demystify some of the terms used in the Homelessness and Roughsleeping Policy and it was felt that the principle could be applied to all policies.

 

It was noted that the Communication Strategy group for Members still existed.

 

RESOLVED: That the Communications and Engagement Strategy 2019-2024 be approved.
