Further Webinar:
Getting Communications Right in a Crisis
A short, sharp and focused webinar sharing insight and skills that you can use to protect your organisation's reputation in difficult times.
What will we cover?
- Someone has left a bad review online.
- Your company has made the front page of the newspaper for the wrong reasons.
- You need to write to your customers to apologise for a major error.
Whether you own the business, lead a team or work on the frontline, a crisis can have an impact of every single person in an organisation, but what can you do to prevent it? This month’s Further Webinar is packed full of practical tips and insight on how to manage communications and protect your organisation’s reputation in challenging times.
We will be joined by Miriam, the Further expert in media and crisis communications. Miriam was formerly part of the press team at the National Crime Agency and has handled communications for some of the country’s biggest incidents including London’s multi-agency crisis response to Covid-19, the Grenfell Tower Inquiry and the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
Miriam’s experience and expertise enables us to turn this knowledge into practical steps and ideas that we can all apply. Even if you are not facing a difficult communication challenge right now, this session is worth listening to - it will ensure that you are ready when the time comes (because at some point, it probably will!)
