Review of Public Administration - Communications
Meetings between the Minister of Education Caitríona Ruane and the Chairpersons of RPA affected groups are held on a regular basis.
The aim of these meetings is for the Minister to engage with the Chairpersons of the groups, providing them with briefing on RPA developments, discussing the best way of engaging the organisations involved and examining jointly the issues faced in maintaining service continuity during the transition period.
The Terms of Reference for this group and the Minutes are included below.
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.
In May 2006, the Department of Education established a Communications Steering Group that consisted of representatives from the key stakeholders involved with the Review of Public Administration process.
The steering group met during the period May 2006 to December 2006 and the minutes of those meetings can be viewed below.
