Our Approach to Developing the Strategy
/* Three image containers (use 25% for four, and 50% for two, etc) */ .column { float: left; width: 33.33%; padding: 5px; } /* Clear floats after image containers */ .row::after { content: ""; clear: both; display: table; }
Our co-design, engagement and consultation approach involved listening and interacting with a range of people. This included homelessness service users, the public, partners and colleagues, which has helped inform and shape the strategy.
The strategy has been developed in partnership with key stakeholders. An extensive pre-consultation was followed by a public consultation which outlined the proposed approach and asked for their views. The Council acknowledges that people with lived experience are often best placed to advise on what will make a positive difference to their lives and this is reflected within the strategy.
To ensure there were diverse conversations a range of different engagement methods to involve people were facilitated, so that we could hear the views of as many people as possible.
