Who should attend:
- This paid event is specifically designed for local authorities looking to develop their CAT strategy and processes and for those who are encountering problems with delivering their current strategy.

How will it be delivered
This training will take place online on Zoom. We'll send out the Zoom link with the joining instructions before the session.
The session will be broken up into topics with some information sharing, for example through a presentation.
This will be followed by group activities where you put this knowledge into practice and apply it to your organisation. We sometimes use digital tools for activities where we work together.
There will be some breaks.
