Working Group - Communications (Wales)
This group is responsible for the communication strategy for the Welsh HAUC Community.
The focus is on these areas:
- Agreeing and prioritising messages
- Using the most appreciated distribution medium
- Showcasing achievements from Wales
- Highlighting UK information that is useful or interesting to Wales
The group will identifying and prioritise the right messages, alongside deciding on the most appropriate medium and format to communicate those messages.
The groups focuses on messages most appropriate to Wales, but consider what is happening in the rest of the UK and will identify which information and practices from outside of Wales are important and useful. The group will also consider how to showcase Welsh achievements and best practices outside of Wales.
