The Civil Renewal Unit's audit of resources for community engagement
and empowerment
Our colleagues at Involve have been commissioned by the Civil Renewal
Unit to carry out a comprehensive audit of resources that support
community engagement and empowerment. The objective is to build
up a list of resources that people find useful as well as indicating
where some of the gaps lie. This is a diverse field in which contributions
are made by many individual practitioners and small companies as
well as by the public sector, so any attempts to make it easier
to find these resources are welcomed.
Involve are looking for your recommendations in the following areas:
- Toolkits / Guidance
- Evaluations / Case studies
- Networks / Support Organisations
- Training providers
- Funding
- Methodology Research
We think that good engagement is vital to the health of our democracy
and this exercise will help to direct customers to the better practitioners
and to generally raise standards in the engagement field. To take
part in the audit go to the Involve website at http://www.involve.org.uk/audit
and complete their template form. Dialogue by Design's work falls
into several of these categories so please remember us if you think
we deserve to be included.
