Have Your Say and Get Involved
Bracknell Forest Partnership's Community Engagement Strategy 2009 - 2011 has now been published. "Community engagement" is a term covering the many different activities we carry out with the people who make up our communities. It's about making sure that people can get involved in these activities and take part in a variety of different ways to make the planning, development and delivery of services benefit Bracknell Forest and make it a supporting and welcoming place to live.
We engage with our communities in four main ways:
- Providing information - in a way that can be easily accessed and understood
- Consulting with people
- Involving people in decision making
- Developing communities and helping them to identify their own needs.
The Strategy aims to:
- Increase the effectiveness and efficiency of community engagement work through forward planning, improved communication and increased collaboration.
- Increase the inclusiveness of consultation and engagement activities ensuring all people have equal opportunity to have their voices heard.
- Increase community engagement skills amongst partners.
- Improve our understanding and appreciation of our community.
- Ensure community engagement work has a genuine influence on the development, commissioning and provision of services by evaluating the impact and outcomes.
- Enable communities to take an active role in tackling the issues that affect them.
