At organisation scale

Built around how your organisation actually works.

For large engagement functions, transport authorities, NHS systems and groups of related bodies, membership is negotiated rather than bought off a shelf. These are the things we build into bespoke agreements.

Whole-function cover

Membership across an entire engagement function rather than a fixed headcount, extended to communications, policy and project colleagues, and to partner bodies in the same group.

Specialist forums

tCI-convened groups on the subjects your team works in: transport, digital engagement, community engagement, behavioural science, artificial intelligence, and engagement in your region.

Mentoring, three ways

New practitioners matched with experienced ones, experienced staff matched outside their own organisation, and executive mentoring for the people accountable for the decisions.

Priority research and briefings

First sight of tCI research, plus briefing sessions run for your team on emerging legal issues, AI developments and what is working in public participation.

A helpline for hard problems

Named specialists your team can call on a complex or contested consultation, with the line between included advice and chargeable work agreed in writing up front.

Assurance on agreed terms

Priority access to independent assurance, an annual review included in the agreement, and preferential rates on every further review against our rate card.

Your own area, and a dashboard

A secure area holding your templates, recorded sessions and sector legal updates, with a manager view of active members, CPD completed, qualifications attained and learning hours.

An annual capability report

Where your engagement capability stands, how it compares with peers across the UK, and the twelve-month development priorities that follow from both.

A named account director

One person accountable for the agreement, holding quarterly reviews, owning the capability report, and measured against success criteria you set with us.

Not every element suits every organisation. We would rather agree a package that fits your structure and reporting lines than sell you a tier. Tell us the shape of your function and we will come back with a proposal.

Just need it for yourself?

Individual membership covers a single practitioner from £400 a year.
