A comprehensive guide for councillors and officers with simple steps, practical examples and resources to support councils on their digitalisation journeys.
This document aims to support directors and their senior team to develop proactive, protective strategies and capabilities to enhance the cyber resilience of their service; some recommendations are technical, some organisational and some are about your people.
Between September and November 2023, the LGA conducted a survey of local councils on their preparedness to deal with a cyber incident. The purpose of the survey was to provide the LGA with a baseline on which to build its Cyber, Digital and Technology programme and ensure that local authorities have the support they most need to respond to the increasing cyber threat. This report outlines the findings.
In February 2024, the LGA launched a survey to explore the landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) deployment within local authorities. The insights gathered will inform the LGA's engagement, research, and advocacy efforts, enabling us to better support local authorities in the safe deployment of AI.
This report is in response to heads of IT highlighting challenges in recruiting, developing and retaining staff across all IT disciplines, and increasing pressures facing IT teams. All heads of IT in all English councils were asked to complete an online survey.
