Where next for devolution? We will see further devolution in the months and years ahead. But what makes devolution the key to unlocking the Government's 'levelling up' and 'build back better' agendas?

The shift away from over-centralised, Westminster-centric politics is set to continue. Are you ready?

The Prime Minister recently set out his vision to: 'Empower strong local leaders by taking a more flexible approach to devolution with new County Deals'. With devo-deals signalled in Somerset, Cumbria, and Yorkshire, and more detail expected to be contained in the highly-anticipated Levelling Up White Paper, NOW is the time to get ahead, horizon-scan, and find out what more and better devolution means for you.

If you are in public affairs and political communications, anticipating these changes and maintaining organisational agility will be crucial to successful influencing and engagement. This unique Devolution Masterclass will make you re-think your public affairs and communications approach and give you the tools you need to negotiate this rapidly changing landscape and truly master the politics of English devolution.
