To receive a verbal update from Greg Williams (Public Relations Office)

The Board received a verbal update regarding their communications plan and noted that Officers had actioned the three-phase approach with a new public video for staff. There would also be an information article about the Health and Wellbeing Board in the next staff newsletter. Public Relations and HR Officers were discussing the possibility of hosting City Corporation staff awareness meetings to form stronger Health and Wellbeing links.

In the autumn Officers would extend this work to non-City Corporation staff and intended to make a second video involving non-City Corporation staff. Officers were also meeting with teams such as Substance Misuse and others to progress the communications plans that broadly split Health and wellbeing communications work between residents and workers, given that the long-term unique selling point for the City was Worker Health.

Members noted that there were two good outcomes relating to air quality to note: an event at Mansion House delivered in partnership with the Greater London Authority on 29 July, and an even planned at Guildhall in October 2014.
