Piloting mass testing
We are all fed up with COVID-19. It has dominated our work, it’s all we talk about (let’s be honest, it’s the only thing to talk about), it’s disrupted all our lives, and changed the way we can live our lives.
Rising to the challenges of COVID-19
The past year has been like no other. The COVID-19 virus has taken a huge toll on our communities, with each death a terrible loss.
Making a success of the census
Councils can help ensure the 2021 census gives a clear picture of local communities.
Representing our communities
I am one of three Labour transgender councillors who are out and proud.
Integrated care systems – consultation
Over the past two years, integrated care systems (ICSs) have been formed across England based on voluntary arrangements.
New year, new challenges

Be a councillor
Next year’s council elections offer an important chance to improve the diversity of candidates standing to represent their local communities

Supporting mental health and wellbeing
Councils have had to find innovative ways to support and promote children and young people’s emotional wellbeing during the pandemic.
