Area Based Conferences
| Summary | Consists of individuals and organisations from the whole Constituency. Everyone on a
Neighbourhood Forum mailing list is invited and they are widely advertised. They take place once a year
and attract between 100 and 180 people. |
|
| Examples | Area conferences have been used to determine issues and priorities around the Community
Plan, and to review its implementation. |
|
| Useful for | Consulting with residents about Constituency or District wide issues. |
|
| Not useful | Small area issues (Neighbourhood Forums are better). Unlikely that those who attend
will be representative of the whole community, therefore not useful in obtaining representative numerical
feedback |
|
| Equal Rights | All sections of the community are invited but it cannot be guaranteed that all will
attend. You need to discuss with the Area Coordinator any particular equal rights issues that may be
relevant to your consultation. |
|
| Costs | As a minimum you will need to pay for a mail out, other advertising material,
any consultation material and room hire. You will also need to ensure that you have staff available
to assist with organising the conference and to be there on the day to carry out the consultation. |
|
| How to use | Your first step is to contact the Area Coordinator, or if it is a District wide
consultation, the Head of the Neighbourhood Support Service. The Area Coordinator may agree to organise
an Area Conference, but more likely will be able to give you advice and assistance in arranging your
own. |
