Community Development Network
| Summary | There are Community Development Networks within each of the Area Panel areas. It
consists of people who work in the community, active individuals, and service providers who carry out
community development activity. They develop community development activities for each area. There is a
District wide Network day every two years. |
|
| Examples | Community development networks provide a forum for
people to work together on an area basis to address community
needs. They have in the past been used to consult on issues such
as health needs and community safety. |
|
| Useful for | Accessing the views of activists and community leaders. Good for developing partnership working. Good for discussing broad policy type issues. |
|
| Not useful | Not good for locally based issues (Neighbourhood Forums are better). Not the mechanism to use if you want representative numerical feedback. |
|
| Equal Rights | Community Development networks reflect community activity in the area, and each of the
five areas is different. It can't be guaranteed that all communities choose to be involved. |
|
| Costs | Most costs are built in, but you will need to provide any consultation materials
you want to use. In addition you will need to send an officer to the meeting. |
|
| How to use | The first step is to contact the appropriate Area Coordinator if the consultation is
limited to one area. The Area Coordinator will be able to tell you when the next meeting is due to
take place and whether the Community Development Network is an appropriate forum for your consultation.
If your consultation is District Wide you will need to contact the Head of the Neighbourhood Support
Service. |
