Community participation in the development of services: a move towards community empowerment
The principal aim of this community study was to devise a model – to be employed by a Council in the east of Scotland – for engaging local people in the identification and assessment of expressed need and unmet need in relation to early years services. A collaborative approach with community members was used to identify issues, and to devise and partially pilot a model for future use in creating a 'dialogue' between the Council and its constituents. This paper outlines the methodology of the model and focuses on the successful aspects of the methodology and the obstacles encountered. The findings can be extrapolated onto many contexts where there is a desire to move towards developing an authority–community approach and, as such, will be of interest to policy-makers and practitioners alike.
