Intranet

What is it?

Councils usually provide their Councillors with accessto the Internet and many make available access to their Intranet. Typically Intranet refers to the browser based information that (council) employees have access. It is different to the Internet in that although the same sort of technology used for Internet access is used for the Intranet the user typically only sees information relating to their Council. It is different from the council network because these use different technologies.

See a definition on the Intranet - wiki

Why bother with it?

It can be useful for Councillors to have access to the Intranet because they have access to a much broader range of information.

Where can I find out more about it?

Speak to Democratic Services about the functions available or talk to Member Services or Member Development about what is available and the training you might get.
