Scottish Community Development Centre (SCDC) would like to hear from community groups and organisations about their experience of participation requests so far, even if, before reading this, you had never heard of them!
Participation requests are a new way for community groups and organisations to have their voices heard in the planning and delivery of services. The right to make a participation request to a public body was introduced as part of the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act, and came into effect on the 1st April 2017.
The survey will help to build a picture of how participation requests are being used across Scotland and provide information on what else might be needed to ensure that the legislation works as intended. Complete the survey here.
SCDC is also running workshops on participation requests around Scotland – click here to find out more.
