The Angus Community Planning Partnership has identified community engagement as a major area of activity. "Engaging our communities" is one of six key priority areas identified in the 2007-2012 Community Plan.
In its Active Citizenship Strategic Statement (70 KB PDF) the Angus Community Planning Partnership states that
"Community planning partners should ... make arrangements, singly or jointly, as appropriate, to engage regularly in open and realistic dialogue with citizens and service users in order to build stronger communities and provide services which respond effectively to the needs, aspirations and priorities of local communities."
Here you will find current national and local information that will assist you in planning and carrying out community engagement activities.
Whether you are a large agency or a smaller community group we would like to hear from you how you get on in your endeavours to encourage individual citizens to take a more active and more direct role in the decision-making processes that affect their lives, communities and work places. Let us know about your community engagement exercises by emailing us at communityplanning@angus.gov.uk.
