Supporting community engagement practice
/This article was featured in the SCDC Weekly - 7th May 2025
Good community engagement is a crucial to how public bodies forge relationships with community organisations, and remains a key part of ongoing public service reform and inclusive growth.
SCDC's community engagement training offer is focused on supporting public bodies and partnerships to understand this central role, allowing teams to confidently apply high-quality engagement practice in their work.
Our training offer scales to different levels and confidence, and we can work with you to take stock of your situation, discuss what training outcomes you’re looking to achieve, and help make the most out of the time and resources available.
Authoritative and value-led, this training brings together our knowledge of the developing empowerment policy environment, and a team of highly experienced facilitators to deliver engaging and participative sessions.
