• Ensure all outward facing comms are signed off by the Executive Committee and that anyone quoted is consulted.
• Provide reports to members’ meetings and the annual general meeting (AGM) to ensure members can keep up to date with EGP’s comms strategies and ask questions.
• The Comms Coordinator may also take on some of the jobs inherent to the comms team, please read the Comms Team definition below for more info.

Communications Team - A team of specialist volunteers that will consider and implement a communications strategy on EGP’s website and various social media pages to ensure the best possible digital campaigning.

In a nutshell, a team that will oversee digital comms in and out of actual election periods which is an integral part of our campaigning efforts!

Volunteers within this team may individually fulfil one or more aspects of EGP’s comms requirements including but not limited to:

• Keeping EGP’s website accurate and up to date.

• Keeping one or more social media pages accurate and up to date.

• Liaising with election teams to review what is being raised while door-knocking to draft related stories for use in digital comms.

• The Election Working Group (EWG) considers election literature so most stories can be gleaned from them rather than the comms team necessarily having to draft stories themselves.

• Cognisance of local, regional and national policy areas to ensure EGP can engage where appropriate. Tracking where we have engaged and how, can also support our campaigning efforts.

• Liaise with the Executive Committee, Elections Working Group etc both to ensure comms strategies are up to date and adhered to and in case any support or guidance is needed with any or all aspects of the Comms Team’s work.

• Ensuring that EGP’s approach to digital comms is coordinated across all platforms and with physical campaigns.

• Coordinating external campaigns that may not be under the Green Party’s banner but still fall within policy areas that we campaign on, such as Paris Street safety, 20 is Plenty and more.

• Liaising with the Data Officer and team to make effective use of Action Network’s capabilities.
