We are delighted to announce our special guest speaker, Charlotte Bearn, the Head of Ventures at the UK Behavioural Insights Team (BI Ventures). CIPR Local Public Sector Committee member Dominic Ridley-Moy, a Behaviour Change Communications Practitioner, will also speak at the event. LPS Committee member Kerry Sheehan, a communications and marketing director in healthcare communications, will facilitate the event. 
Behavioural insights, often referred to as nudges, can be used to make small, cost-effective changes to improve your communications, and ultimately public services. Outcomes can be improved by introducing a more realistic model of human behaviour, helping organisations to rethink how they can increase take up in services and encourage people to change their behaviours, but without instructing them to do so. 
Work by the Behavioural Insights Team has shown:
