Healthwatch: Crisis communications training

About this event

Every organisation should have a crisis communication plan in place. Anything that could affect your organisation’s profile or stall business continuity, from financial loss to staff misconduct, is an example of a risk that warrants communication with stakeholders and/ or the public. 

While communication plans will differ depending on the type of risk you're dealing with, this session will help you develop your crisis communications plan, so you know what to include and how to implement it.
