Surpassing expectations: trust in the system

The resources in this New Conversations section look at how an approach based on engagement can improve people’s day-to-day interactions with the council. This includes helping with personalisation, digitisation, and using social media to engage with residents. The tools and resources also support the role of frontline staff in engagement and comms, and at the concept of continuous engagement.
