Working Together - Dorset Association of Parish and Town Councils

Find out what's on and webinars already featured....

Below are a series of webinars hosted by DAPTC to ensure the working relationship between parish, town and unitary authority are productive and informative. The sessions run monthly and will be for about 1 hour. The timings are geared to appeal to either officers or councillors attending, so invariably 4:30pm to 5:30pm on Tuesdays or Thursdays. A schedule of the forthcoming events will be listed and if you feel this is relevant to your council send someone along to report back at your next meeting.

There will always be an opportunity to pre-submit questions or ask them during the session and resources will be provided afterwards. For some of the webinars there may be a defined audience and invites will be directed to those groups, this could be geographic or specifically rural parishes or towns. We'll make this clear ahead of the webinar.

We ask that delegates are respectful of the presenters and hosts.
