The National Standards are a set of guiding principles for improving the engagement of public bodies with communities. They are useful for communities who want to gauge how well public agencies are engaging locally, and also to community groups and organisations who want to engage with people locally. Accessible and easy read versions of the Standards are also available.

VOiCE stands for Visioning Outcomes in Community Engagement, and is an online tool which helps you to plan, conduct and reflect on community engagement.
