Community leadership is at the heart of modern local government. Councils work in partnership with local communities and other organisations – including the public, voluntary and community and private sectors – to develop a vision for their local area and to work collaboratively to improve services and quality of life for citizens. Councillors have a lead role in this process.

Offering a choice of different learning methods, our Community Leadership resources range from e-learning modules, self-guided workbooks and bespoke training events, available to be held at your council, on topics such as induction, effective ward councillor, chairing and social media.
