Driving Digital Collaboration between Local and Central Government

Tuesday 20 January 2026 – 2.00pm to 3.00pm BST

Led by Liz Adams, Government Digital Service (GDS)

Join the Government Digital Service (GDS) for a spotlight webinar exploring how we’re reshaping digital collaboration between central and local government, aligned with the Blueprint for Modern Digital Government.

This session will showcase how national platforms, digital expertise and transformation initiatives could be made accessible across all levels of government and demonstrate how we can collaborate more effectively to ensure better outcomes for citizens. We’ll highlight how we plan to translate the ambition for local government from the blueprint into action at GDS: strengthening partnerships, tackling challenges with the technology market and enabling innovation with data.

Whether you’re working in policy, digital or delivery services, this is your opportunity to:

  • Find out more about the new GDS local government workstream coordinating this work
  • Discover current digital initiatives underway
  • Explore practical opportunities for collaboration and sharing learning

Discover how we can build a more connected and collaborative digital government.

There will be a Q&A session at the end of the presentation.

Avoiding the ripple effect of a personal data breach

Wednesday 25 February 2026 – 4.00pm to 5.00pm BST

Led by Government Digital Service (GDS)

The more we use technology to deliver public services the greater the risk from technological threats. A breach of personal data can send shockwaves through people’s lives and bring devastating consequences, particularly for vulnerable or at-risk individuals.

Join us at the Government Digital Service (GDS) Spotlight webinar when we will host a session on how to handle a personal data breach if it happens and introduce the 10 GDS principles for securing personal data in government services for organisations.

This session is a must for anyone who designs, builds and operates a service that processes personal data; it can also be of interest from a “wider awareness” personal perspective.
