School Consultations
Press interest and dealing with contentious consultations
Consultations can spark public interest when the issue affects people's lives and communities, especially if there is significant change involved. People want to have their say, and emotions can run high.
We understand that dealing with press interest on ongoing issues can feel unsettling and unfamiliar. It's not something most people in education are used to facing, and that can add extra pressure.
Need help? Buying into a communications package may be helpful when consulting on a contentious issue. It ensures your message lands well, reduces misunderstandings, and offers a professional approach.
