Course Overview

Internal audiences learn about trust restoration after crises from the news unless you reach them first. The first version of a story about after crises tends to become the reference version. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of this part of communications and media practice to standardise and which to leave flexible. Practitioner evidence points the same way: trust restoration after crises improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Moving this strand of communications and media practice from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. It establishes a shared vocabulary for after crises so that teams can disagree productively about it. The level assumes working familiarity with the communications function but no prior formal training in trust restoration after crises. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of after crises is examined, not just described. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this area of communications and media practice sustainable.
