Community Engagement

Since 2002, partner agencies in Wolverhampton have been working together to involve the public and communities in the services we deliver, the policies we develop and to support the growth of stronger communities.

Together we have developed a Community Engagement Strategy for the city and a three year action plan to implement the strategy. Each partner organisation develops its own action plan to deliver the strategy.
 
We also have an Engagement Database where you can find out details of past, present or future engagement activities.
 
The Partnership also has a comprehensive staff training programme and a resource pack to support staff delivering engagement activities.
 
Wolverhampton Partnership is also a partner in delivering the Black Country Take Part Path Finder, a three year programme that is developing active learning for active citizenship.
