Who is this guide for?
It has been designed to help lots of different people, including:
• Communities who are working together, and with other organisations, to get involved and influence decisions
• Practitioners who are trying to find out what communities think and feel about certain issues, and build these into future plans
• Community advisors who support communities to work with other organisations
• Community planning partners who want to make sure that services are planned based on the views of local communities.
As a result, the site has a lot of information intended for a wide range of users. We don’t imagine that everything on the site will be of relevance to your current situation. But we do hope that you are able to find guidance, support and advice through the materials provided.
We are always interested to hear what you think about this guide. Please provide feedback on how we could improve it.
