12 Apr 2023: On 24 May, the Scottish Community Development Centre (SCDC) is hosting a short webinar (6pm to 7pm) on National Standards for Community Engagement (NSCE). 

SCDC - We believe communities matter

Community engagement is a core part of SCDC's work. SCDC offers practical frameworks and guides as well as training and support to community organisations and public bodies (such as local councils). The National Standards for Community Engagement are good practice principles, based on Inclusion, Support, Working together, Communication, Planning, Methods and Impact. 

The 24 May meeting will profile the VOiCE tool, developed and supported by the Scottish Government to implement NSCE. VOiCE is a plannng and recording software facility that logs and data-manages the meetings and engagements in which your community organisation participates. It offers to take much of the labour out of recording what was said, by whom; what was agreed; what was to be done and what the outcome was. That is potentially a big breakthrough in making the conversations that surround every engagement more productive and fruitful. Worth a look, then. You can learn more about VOiCE here:
