You are here Empowering Communities: Report benchmarks efforts to enable people to influence local decisions
Increasing the number of people who feel they can influence decisions in their locality is a priority for many Local Authorities in the region, and the Empowering Communities Partnership, led by Creating Excellence, has just published a report benchmarking the activities of twelve Authorities on this work. The report also explores Authorities' potential help and support needs in improving their performance.
Carried out by SERIO, (Socio-economic Research and Intelligence Observatory) at the University of Plymouth, this authoritative report, commissioned in June 2008, provides in-depth information on how key authorities are approaching the Government's National Indicator 4, (the percentage of people who feel they can influence decisions in their locality), and provides valuable information for developing resources and training to support them.
For more information see the executive summary here.
The full report is available here.
