Communicating Change Consultative Group

Communication has been recognised as a key priority throughout the Review of Public Administration (RPA).

In January 2008 at the request of the RPA Management Board, a group called the Communicating Change Consultative Group was established. The group is made up of nominees from the RPA affected organisations and it was formed in order to:

  • establish clarity on RPA communication needs and flows;
  • explore the methods and media for communicating with staff of the respective affected organisations and
  • update affected organisation on what is currently happening with the RPA.

The group will hold regular meetings and the minutes of each meeting can be viewed below.

RPA News

With communication recognised as a priority, the Department of Education and the Education and Skills Authority Implementation Team (ESAIT) have begun jointly publishing a news letter entitled RPA News.

The aim of the news letter is to keep all the stakeholders across the education sector up to date on the latest news and is available for you to read or download in pdf format.
