In the wake of a serious incident, strategic communication is paramount. Get it wrong, and the situation can escalate rapidly. This interactive, 5-hour training session equips senior leaders of British international schools with the skills to manage high-stakes situations confidently.

What we will cover:

• Prepare: How to build a proactive, robust crisis communications plan.

• Respond: Best practices for managing messaging and stakeholders during an active incident.

• Practice: Apply your learning in a live, virtual tabletop simulation, allowing to formulate responses and debrief with fellow leaders.

Chris Gallant, Director of Pharos Response.

Chris has probably planned the communications response to more serious incidents in schools than anyone else.  Starting his career as a PR professional within the education sector, Chris has become a leading specialist in his field with 25 years’ experience of crisis stakeholder communications.
