Measuring Impact: What does the White Paper require? How do you do it?
18 April 2010
Kingsway Learning Centre, Widnes
Halton Borough Council is working with a community engagement framework which will be used to produce an audit of community engagement across the council. The framework has four levels: information giving, consulting, acting together and deciding, and assessing. The audit will show which levels different departments are currently working at. Halton is inviting all its partners to undertake the same audit.
Speaker, Dwayne Johnson, Strategic Director of Health & Community at Halton Borough Council.
There will also be an up-to-date report on other approaches supported by Communities and Local Government.
Booking available on www.nwtwc.org.uk soon

The Health White Paper Consultation
CONSULTATION FULLY BOOKED
The White Paper on Health has the potential to create one of the biggest changes to the structure and function of the NHS since its creation in 1948. Within the White Paper there are 5 consultations which are all open until early October. Although the ‘what’ in the White Paper has largely been decided, the ‘how’ is very much still being shaped.
