Public engagement can mean different things to different people. For us it means directly involving members of the public and partner organisations in our work, making sure that we use the lived experience expertise of those directly affected by decisions that are being made.
Public engagement is important to the HDRC as it helps build trust between the Council and the community, it encourages collaboration, and it ensures that our work truly reflects the needs and voices of our local community. By engaging with the community, the HDRC hopes to create a positive and lasting impact across RCT.
There are plenty of ways to get involved, no matter how much time you can offer. Whether you have just a few minutes or a couple of hours to spare, there’s an opportunity for you to directly and positively impact the work of the HDRC.
How can the public get involved?
One way of getting involved is to interact with the various surveys and polls found on this website. They are a great way of telling us your thoughts and opinions, directing the work of the HDRC, and ensuring that the work we deliver is in the best interest of the RCT community. Why don't you start by telling us what matters to you?
If you have a particular interest or experience in one of our project areas, you can join us as a Lived Experience Advisor (LEA). Lived Experience Advisors get involved in projects by offering their lived experience knowledge and expertise. For more information on how to become an LEA click here.
How can community organisations get involved?
If you work for or represent a local community group, charity or organisation then you can support the HDRC as a partner organisation. They offer specialist consultancy, provide evidence from their experiences as an organisation, and can help us to access lived experience evidence.
