The protocol sets out the institutional representation
At the local government level, protocol is not merely a ceremonial formality. It governs the institution’s public presence, defines criteria for precedence, forms of address and representation, and ensures a sense of security at events, meetings and other occasions where the institution is in the public eye.
This programme helps local councils, executive teams, municipal bodies and technical staff to apply protocol standards with consistency, rigour and a sense of institutional responsibility.
