Thank you to everyone who attended the forum on 25.06.2025 online. Seeing such strong engagement and shared commitment across the board was great. The discussions were focused, practical, and packed with useful takeaways.
We focused on the updated AGAR Practitioners Guide 2025/2026, which now includes Assertion 10: Digital and Data Compliance. This addition brings website accessibility and data compliance to the forefront of our responsibilities, something that can’t be overlooked moving forward.
We also had a timely presentation on Domains and Website Compliance, covering key areas like WCAG 2.2 AA, FOIA, GDPR, and IT policies. These sessions helped clarify what’s expected and how we can make steady progress.
Please find below the presentations and Guidelines, along with a Template of the IT policy for you to adapt for your council.
