Communicating effectively with the public and stakeholders is an essential part of my Department’s work. My Department utilises social media channels (Twitter, Facebook and Instagram) with this objective in mind, promoting the schemes and initiatives managed by us, and utilising the reach afforded by these channels to inform the public of the wide range of activity of our Department.
My Department occasionally uses the advertising functions of these platforms to deliver public information campaigns, often in support of public consultations. In 2021, examples of advertising on social media include:
- Fire Safety week
- The Check the Register campaign to encourage voter registration
- Promotion of the Housing for All strategy
- Support for marine planning activities in the Department
- Commemoration of the Burning of the Custom House.
The amount spent per platform in 2021 is:
