RGS with IBG Free Event - Geographers in Government: an overview of the Government Geography Profession - Clare Hadley
Government is often fundamentally a geographical issue. Whether it is developing a policy so that it applies equally to all parts of the country, designing efficient bin lorry routes or, more recently, locating COVID-19 test centres, geographers have a critical role to play.

About the Event
Government is often fundamentally a geographical issue. Whether it is developing a policy so that it applies equally to all parts of the country, designing efficient bin lorry routes or, more recently, locating COVID-19 test centres, geographers have a critical role to play.

Clare Hadley, FRGS, is a Deputy Head of the Government Geography Profession and has a day job with Ordnance Survey.
