The complete guide to stakeholder management for UK government
A practical guide for local authorities, combined authorities, and central government departments managing stakeholder engagement, statutory consultations, and public accountability.
This guide covers compliance checklists, FOI readiness frameworks, consultation lifecycle management, and real examples from UK government organisations, including a self-assessment to evaluate your current approach.

Is your stakeholder engagement spread across spreadsheets, shared drives, personal email accounts and individual notebooks?
Fragmented data creates real risk for government teams:
-
Incomplete records when FOI requests arrive
-
No single audit trail for statutory consultations
-
Duplicated outreach across departments
-
Staff turnover that erases institutional memory
-
GDPR compliance gaps that go unnoticed until challenged
This guide is written specifically for UK government professionals managing complex stakeholder programmes under public scrutiny.
Inside you will find:
-
A compliance and security checklist for evaluating any stakeholder management platform, covering ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, UK data hosting, and G-Cloud procurement
-
A five-step framework for managing statutory consultations that withstand FOI and judicial review
-
A vendor evaluation framework based on five objective criteria that government buyers can apply to any supplier
-
Case studies from UK government organisations, including measurable outcomes
-
A scored self-assessment to identify where your current approach falls short
-
