What do you think of these as RFS Principles for community engagement?? Your thoughts????
Clarity of purpose – we clearly define why engagement activities are occurring, their context and the goals of our engagement Accessibility – we plan engagement activities to ensure needs of targeted individuals and local groups are considered in order to maximise their ability to participate
Hospitality – we provide a friendly, welcoming environment for all face-to-face engagement activities
Communication – we support two-way communication processes that provide accurate and timely information, and invite and value feedback
Evidence – we establish good engagement practices that are based on sound research and quality information
On message – we reinforce organisational key messages and identify locally relevant key messages to ensure we communicate consistently and effectively
Working together – we establish partnerships with relevant individuals, local groups, community networks and other stakeholders to build capacity and add value
Broaden the reach – we endeavour to involve individuals and local groups to move beyond established networks, to tap into significant knowledge and expertise within communities
Continuous learning – we report our engagement activities to ensure they achieve meaningful outcomes and can be monitored and evaluated for future improvement
Integrity – we build relationships by ensuring our engagement activities are open, accountable and designed to improve individual and group understanding of bush fire preparedness; to increase community trust and confidence in us.
