WHAT MAKES A GOOD COMMUNITY LED PLAN?

The development phase should be rigorous, inclusive and based on hard evidence, not just opinion. The actions in the resulting action plan should be realistic and achievable and should demonstrate adequate commitment from the community where it is required.

A high quality Community Led Plan should:

• Benefit from independent facilitation to support and challenge communities, to broker the required external involvement and relationships to achieve the plan’s aspirations
• Consider and explore the full range of social, environmental and economic issues relevant to quality of life in the community
• Demonstrate inclusivity within the community, using different approaches with different target audiences
• Involve dialogue with a relevant range of local government officers, service providers and stakeholders as part of the development of the plan
• Be forward looking in defining the community’s vision, anticipating likely changes caused by external influences
• Access credible evidence on which to develop the actions in the action plan
• Be realistic in identifying actions, expectations and timescales in which they can be achieved
• Have arrangements in place for monitoring implementation of the action plan and providing the community with external expertise and skills to deliver on those actions on which they lead.
