Debating and disagreeing with one anoth er has always been\, and will continue to be\, a healthy part of democracy \, but abuse and intimidation only serves to silence democratic voices and deter people from engaging with politics.
\nTo better understand th e issue of abuse and intimidation of councillors by the public\, the Local Government Association (LGA) launched a call for evidence in October 2021 . The LGA has now published a report of the findings of that call for evid ence and proposed recommendations to begin addressing these issues and imp roving the support available to councillors. You can access the full repor t through the following link:
\n\nOur speaker is Jess Norman\, Senior Policy Adviser at the Local Government Association who wil l present the findings and recommendations in the report and answer questi ons from attendees. The webinar presents an opportunity for attendees to hear about the real experiences of councillors and the impacts of abuse an d intimidation on councillors and local democracy.
\nAttendees will also hear about good practice the LGA has identified under the Civility in public life programme and have the opportunity to ask questions and make comments about good practice they are aware of in their areas\, thereby sh aring good practice.
\nThe webinar will be particularly suited to De mocratic Services Officers who support councillors with issues of abuse an d intimidation.
