Principle of community engagement for empowerment
- All Wales/National
This guide has been produced for staff working in Public Health Wales. The purpose of the guidance is to support reflective practice about community engagement activity and to encourage behaviours that lead to empowerment, rather than inadvertent disempowerment.
As professionals we can use this guide to reflect upon current practice within our sphere of influence, in relation to the principles presented. This guide is also intended to equip staff with the knowledge needed to advocate for improved practice, both within Public Health Wales and when working with partner organisations.
