The People and Communities Board, one of the Five Year Forward View (FYFV) programme boards, has published Six principles for engaging people and communities.
The principles offer a practical steer on developing the ‘new relationship with people and communities’ set out in the FYFV. Embedding people and communities engagement is a ‘must do’ and the six principles aim to help build knowledge, confidence and motivation to develop person centred, community-focused approaches to health and care.
The six principles documents demonstrate why the principles are important, provide a guide to putting them into practice, offer case examples of the principles in action, and suggest indicators and measures of success.
