Community Engagement

The new Cumbria Community Engagement Framework ‘Listening and Learning’ builds existing good practice outlined within the Council’s Community Engagement guidance ‘Local Matters’ more firmly in day to day operations across the County and recommends the further development and adoption of an internal community engagement charter and implementation of a corporate auditable framework for consultation which ensures the effectiveness of community engagement. Listening and Learning  translates national and regional policy into local action and promotes a range of strategic improvements required to support effective community engagement across Cumbria.
