Community Engagement Framework and Toolkit
Community engagement is becoming central to a communications philosophy of involving citizens and stakeholders in the decision-making process. People have the right to mould decisions that directly affect their lives and, thus, shape the way their community develops.
From the emergence of our outline Community Strategy, a great focus was placed on putting local people at the heart of partnership working; this is reflected in the initial consultation process, where the views and expectations of local people helped fashion the Vision for the City.
Therefore, ONE HULL recognises community engagement as an effective mechanism for listening, talking, sharing and working together toward shared values.
In Hull, several agencies, including the Primary Care Trust, Humberside Police and Hull City Council are developing community engagement strategies, which emphasises the growing commitment of service providers to involve local people across the City-wide community.
ONE HULL will strive to make key partners aware of the ONE HULL Community Engagement Framework and Toolkit in order to provide a strategic direction to co-ordinate the various permutations across the City.
The PDF document, A Framework for Engaging with Communities and the Toolkit, will be available to download following a final proof and rebrand.
