A Practical Guide to Public Consultation
Open Dialogue. Focused Results.
Good consultation provides the foundation for good decisions. It is a legal requirement in many cases and ensures your project is supported and needed by your local community.
Our focus here is on how consultation works in the local government context. Through the day you have the opportunity to work on a range of exercises and case studies to sharpen your skills.
The Plus Factor:
You will take away a consultation toolkit, which takes you through the different consultation techniques, discussing how they work and when they are appropriate. With this reference tool at hand, you will be able to work out which techniques to use on your next project.
Key Learnings
We start by looking at the legal and democratic implications of consultation. We then spend time discussing stakeholders - who they are and the best tools and techniques to communicate with them. With an emphasis on practical learning, we examine different case studies to see which approaches work and which don't.
Topics include:
- How to identify stakeholders
- Timelines and budgets
- Best practice processes
- Legal requirements
- Dealing with the media
