Cornerstone Barristers invite you to a webinar to discuss the implications of the new Regulations, adopted last week, which empower local authorities to hold meetings remotely (including by telephone conference, video conference, or live webcast).
The Regulations are designed to ensure local authorities can continue to conduct business during the current public health emergency. They introduce welcome flexibility, but also present potential pitfalls that may be causing some authorities concern.
This webinar is designed to give an overview of the new provisions and to offer some practical advice on how local authorities can navigate this new virtual reality. It will cover key issues relating to member and public participation, access to documents, and GDPR/FOI implications.
Please email your questions in advance to events@cornerstonebarristers.com
