One of the biggest benefits of LGD is our online community. We have a private Slack workspace where people can share their work, ask questions or advice and, of course, celebrate successes!
Adding users to Slack
Council teams
We grant access to our Slack channel to any council team member who requests it, regardless of whether their council uses our platforms.
This is because we want to be as open as possible to councils and encourage them to participate in our project.
Ultimately, this project aims to improve our public services collaboratively, and the more councils that experience our ways of working, the bigger the positive impact for the sector.
We ask that councils inform us if they are no longer working with a non-subscribing supplier so that we can remove them from our channel.
Please email us to request access.
When you join, please add your council in brackets after your name in your Slack profile.
Suppliers
Before we add any new suppliers to Slack we ask that they fill in the supplier interest form, have a quick chat with us and sign the contributor agreement.
If you work for an existing supplier then please email us to request access stating the company.
If the supplier is already working with a council that council can request that the supplier gets added to our Slack channel.
We also ask that suppliers inform us when their team members move on so that we can remove them from Slack.
When you join, please add your company in brackets after your name in your Slack profile.
