Report of the Director of Communications

Members considered a report of the Director of Communications on the City Corporation’s standalone website policy, setting out when and how institutions owned or wholly-funded by the City Corporation can set up standalone websites or digital platforms.

The Director of Communications was asked to give an update on the branding strategy, to which he will come back to the particular Member to update outside of the meeting.

There was also quite a lot of discussion surrounding the functionality of the City Corporation website, particularly in relation to its search function and its ease of navigation. Members asked for a joint paper of the Director of Communications and Director of IT to be taken back to this Sub Committee outlining proposals for a new digital strategy.

RESOLVED, that the new standalone website policy be approved.
