SCDC has developed summary guidance to accompany part 3 of the Community Empowerment Act on participation requests. Participation requests are a new way for people to have their say about what improvements they would like to see made to the services they use.
Community groups can make a participation request to start a dialogue (or “outcome improvement process”) with a public service authority (local authorities, health boards and a host of other bodies) about improving how things are done.The summary guidance provides a plain English summary of what participation requests are, as well as helpful illustrative examples and a flow chart to help you through the process.
