Sector events

We are developing a playbook of guidance, case studies, and tools to help councils with the digital, data, technology and cyber elements of reorganisation.

MHCLG is making a Cyber Incident Response service available to English councils helping them to respond quickly and effectively to incidents.

To help councils operate as intelligent buyers and support suppliers to meet sector ambitions, we are developing a software market intelligence tool.

The Open Referral UK (ORUK) community continues to grow, helping to improve how local service data is shared across the UK.

We’re pleased to share a milestone in our social housing data work, the delivery of a new data standard to support Awaab’s Law.

The cyber threat to local government is real, increasing, and evolving. Four years into the Cyber Support programme, we’re sharing insights from our cyber work.

In this short video, we explain what the CAF for local government is, the stages involved, and where to get started.

We explore why shared digital approaches are so important, barriers to standardisation, and how councils are making them work.

We have launched a new webpage highlighting MHCLG’s Defend as One programme and the work we’re undertaking.
