This framework has been developed to improve how we as partner organisations in the North Yorkshire Strategic Partnership (NYSP) involve communities within North Yorkshire. It sets out our intention to do this by working more closely together and co-ordinating activities.

 

It contains a set of shared definitions, principles and standards for engaging with communities.

 

Developing the Framework has raised the profile of community engagement and neighbourhood management principles in our organisations and given us the opportunity to consult widely on our plans, but the production of this document is only the starting point. We see the Framework as a first step. Engaging communities is not a single activity; it is a way of working which is about inclusion, input and influence. As our learning and practice develops so will the Framework.

 

The associated Action plan details how we intend to implement the Framework.
