Welcome to this month's events bulletin.
As part of the LGA’s Civility in Public Life Programme we are hosting two virtual events. The first on Personal safety for newly-elected councillors on Wednesday 12 June. This virtual event has been specially devised for newly or recently-elected councillors who are keen to improve their awareness of personal safety. Built around the role of the elected member, the session is full of practical advice and guidance. Included within the webinar is advice on surgeries, canvassing, home visits and managing unexpected doorstep visitors.
The second virtual event we are running is the Handling online abuse and intimidation for newly-elected councillors on Thursday 20 June. Many councillors say that they are reporting unprecedented levels of abuse and threats on social media and are keen to learn strategies on how to manage posts which are potentially defamatory, inappropriate or threatening. This practical programme will provide attendees with an awareness of the steps that can be taken to manage trolls and cyber-bullies, including a gentle introduction to the legal framework around social media posts. There will be guidance on how to be safe online generally, as well as tips on how to create a positive online presence.
Please find below details of our other forthcoming events.
