Webcasting is now being introduced in councils across Wales to broadcast a range of council meetings to the public. This is clearly of significance to councillors as there is a potential for the public to be more widely involved in the democratic process, and for the business of local government to be made more transparent.
Objectives:
- Provide members with a useful overview of webcasting;
- Important tips on how to make the most of an exciting technological development that offers huge potential for improving how councils engage with their communities;
- Overview of constitutional matters;
- Key issues around declaration of interests, standard orders and personal conduct.
