Engagement toolkit

Engagement is key to making the most informed decisions and developing fit for purpose solutions and services. This means Talking, Listening and Working Together with residents, people who use services and their carers, and colleagues from the wide range of organisations we work with.

This toolkit will give people a better understanding of best practice when it comes to engaging effectively, giving decision makers the insight they need, and helping to live up to our commitment to our local community.
