Social Media Skills for Councillors

Course Description

Social media offers Parish and Town Councillors as individually-elected members a fantastic opportunity to engage and communicate with their residents.

Building up two-way conversations through the power of digital platforms has never been easier, but it can be tricky to get started and to know where to focus your time and effort as an individual Councillor. We walk you through the essential ways to get the most out of key social media platforms as a local Councillor, and provide top tips to engage with your residents

This is an interactive course   and offers the opportunity to network with Councillors from Councils across England and Wales to share best practice and ideas. 

Please note  the course is open to all county associations and will therefore have clerks and councillors not from Northamptonshire in attendance. We hope that this will allow for this course to be delivered more often and throughout the year.

When booking onto this course, the details that you provide will be used to book you onto a third party website where you will receive booking confirmation. Your details will only be used for the purposes of sending joining instructions.
