This online toolkit has been developed by the National Communications Resource Team (NCRT) to provide practitioners with general guidance on their communications activities. Recent additions to the communications resource pack include sections on targeting teenagers, knowing your audience, organising a press conference and touring theatre groups. The existing guidance on data protection has also been revisited and updated.
In response to the feedback obtained from practitioners via HEFCE's communications survey, the NCRT has also developed some additional template materials - further press releases and a letter inviting a local celebrity (or MP) to take part in a photo opportunity - which can be adapted for use by regional and area partnerships.
