Community Participation and Engagement Strategy

Community participation and engagement is all about working with our communities together with Community Planning partners to improve and sustain services that matter most locally.

In order for our services to be delivered effectively, it is vital that these services are shaped and prioritised by the people who live in Dumfries and Galloway.

The policy intent of this strategy is:

• to empower individuals and communities by giving them a stronger voice and greater influence over our decisions that affect them
• making our engagement arrangements more efficient across partners thereby getting best value for the resources we are investing in this area of work
• building and maintain relationships with communities, ensuring that local people and communities are at the hear of our decision making
• become better at engaging with communities
