SCDC information, January 2015
SCDN held a very successful regional event in Dumfries called Empowered Communities. The full event report is available to read here:
“… CPPs should invest in skilled Community Development support for communities on an on-going basis to enable communities to understand, analyse and collectivise needs, issues and aspirations and to effectively engage.”
“The pressure of global economic and environmental crisis make this a crucial time in deciding what our national priorities must be and what our international responsibilities are, and how we are to fulfill them.
The values and vision of community development and human rights are central to any approach that seeks to challenge the current levels of injustice, violence and inequality which threaten the world.”

“This short paper has been prepared to identify and describe the different models of community engagement in community planning. It is designed to provide additional material to the Guidance on Effective Community Engagement that accompanies the Local Government Bill.”
