Local Government Association

Opening remarks by the LGA Chairman, Cllr James Jamieson, at the 2022 LGA Annual Conference in Harrogate.

​​​​​​​Having a clear people cyber strategy will help to ensure that your council’s cyber strategy and approach is shaped by a mature understanding of your current cyber exposure.

This section outlines how to conduct a review of the cyber risk of your current contracts, frameworks and suppliers, and how to ensure this feeds into future planning.

The new duty on the CQC to assess local authorities’ delivery of their adult social care (ASC) duties under Part 1 of the Care Act 2014 came into effect on 1 April 2023. Linked to this new duty is a power for the Secretary of State to intervene where, following assessment under the new duty, it is considered that a local authority is failing to meet their duties.

​​​​​​​One of the most important things you can do as a council is develop a clear, accessible standard framework for evaluating cyber risk.
