Engaging Warrington

The council is committed to improving the way we consult and engage with our customers and communities.

Warrington's engagement strategy, 'Engaging Warrington', has been developed to ensure that local people are encouraged and supported to have more influence and power to change and improve their lives. It provides a clear framework for how the council and partners will engage our communities and other stakeholders in decision making.

Partnership engagement and research group

The group co-ordinates and advises on all consultation activity across the council and partnership to ensure that all consultation and engagement is:

coordinated and monitored
undertaken to the same standards
undertaken in line with good practice

The group has also produced a number of resources which include:

Engaging Warrignton - Key contacts for engaging with hard to reach groups
Engagement toolkit (currently being developed - watch this space!)
