Speech Writing in the Public Sector

Communications and Public Relations|3 days|Classroom or live online

Speech Writing in the Public Sector takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including community engagement, crisis communication and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because internal communication failures surface later as engagement and retention problems, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with communication auditing, interview technique and content planning in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Take ownership of communication auditing rather than escalating it, measured against recognised crisis communication protocols
