News & Insights
Join the post-election discussion in our members’ forum!
We are excited to announce the launch of our new virtual members’ forum, a space designed specifically for you to come together and discuss the results and impact of the general election. This is your opportunity to share insights, exchange ideas, and learn from each other’s perspectives in an open and supportive environment.
This series of forums is designed for peer-to-peer discussion, and is entirely member-driven, allowing you to freely engage with your fellow members and explore the implications of the election results on your own terms.
To encourage active discussion, we are limiting places to 30 participants per session. Register now to secure your place!
We will be running three forums in the post-election period. We’ll be there to discuss with you:

Results and Impact: How might the election outcome affect your role, as well as local issues and community projects in your area?
Date: Tuesday 9th July
Time: 10am – 10:30am

Analysis and Influence: How does the result influence key policies, and how can we enhance community engagement?
Date: Thursday 11th July
Time: 10am – 10:30am

What next?: What are your long-term predictions? How can we improve public trust?
Date: Tuesday 16th July
Time: 10am – 10:30am
Don’t miss your chance to hear how fellow consultation and engagement professionals are navigating their roles post-election.
