A25-018 to Improving the visibility of party branches

The Branch Committee is asked to prepare and submit a proposal to the Party
Council within the next six months, to include:

• The creation of a target, set by Council, for a certain proportion of
  social media posts, website posts, and emails from the national Party to
  focus on the work and achievements of branches, councillors and
  representative groups. The target can be paused under specific
  circumstances when topical communications are crucial, including Holyrood
  elections, Westminster elections, and major party events such as our
  status in government.

• A request for the relevant communications team of the Party to create a
  simple process by which these groups and branches can submit stories to be
  promoted by the party's communications channels. These stories can be
  simple, for example social media posts to be shared, or more detailed,
  such as articles to be published on the party website.

• A request for the Party Executive to report the progress on meeting this
  target to Council six months after implementation.

The Branch Committee is asked to engage with branch members and councillors,
including members of representative groups, in the development of the proposal and it is understood that some amendments to the details of the proposal may change as a result of this engagement.
