After several days of fast-moving local, devolved and national politics, why not join an event tomorrow lunchtime on a topic that's equally fascinating but has moved (so far) at a slower pace: @rebeccamckee.bsky.social will chair a panel on restoration and renewal of the UK Parliament building.

Not only does this promise to be a great event, but Welsh speakers can prepare by listening to my very talented bilingual colleagues @meganbryer.bsky.social and @howesdaniel.bsky.social here: youtu.be/-imXSQwcpGg?... (And those of us who don't speak Welsh can look here: youtu.be/s_f2_noF_dA?...)

A thread below about the IfG Academy's work with examples of what we do, from civil servant Private Office workshops (one on 15 May) to work with over 50 different orgs in the last year. Follow @ifgacademy.bsky.social for all our latest news. Very pleased to have joined such a deeply expert team.

As someone who only left the civil service recently, it's felt quite sad to read the headlines this week. But I'm pleased to be working at @instituteforgovernment.org.uk where colleagues are thinking constructively about what needs to happen to rebuild trust. Read Alex and Hannah's thoughts below.

Three weeks into my time @instituteforgovernment.org.uk I've been learning lots and it turns out increasing numbers of politicans have been too. My new colleagues have written about their work on professional development for politicians - well worth a read.⬇️

I've been so impressed since I started at the IfG by the range and quality of the work that interns get involved in. Watch the video below to find out more and consider if you or someone you know might apply to join us for 26-27. ⬇️

Excited to be joining the @instituteforgovernment.org.uk team in March to continue the great work @cathhaddon.bsky.social and team have been doing at the @ifgacademy.bsky.social. Thank you for the warm welcome I have received already!
