As GLRO you will need to put in place communication plans to support the delivery of the elections. These plans should support you in effectively liaising with and co-ordinating the work of CROs to ensure the consistent delivery of the poll across Greater London, and with managing stakeholder co-ordination and communication, including media liaison.
When developing your communication plans you should identify and document how you will communicate in relation to key aspects of your approach to managing and co-ordinating the elections, including:
consulting on and giving guidance and, where appropriate, directions
disseminating information
monitoring CRO planning and performance
communicating your plans for the processes for which you are responsible, such as nominations for the election of the Mayor of London and London-wider Assembly Member election
co-ordinating public awareness activity
providing advice and support to, and dealing with enquiries from, CROs and their staff
You should establish a schedule of regular meetings with CROs to discuss options and issues, with a view to, where possible, reaching consensus on the decisions you need to make to deliver the elections and meet the identified objectives and success measures. A record of each meeting should be kept as an audit trail of what was discussed and of any decisions made.
