Temple Engagement Toolkit

The Temple Engagement Toolkit includes over 50 different techniques grouped into six sets depending on the main purpose of the engagement exercise. Making this clear at the planning stage is crucial in avoiding later costly and stressful misunderstandings. There are also sections targeting engagement with minority groups and building social value.

EMPOWERING ORGANISATIONS AND COMMUNITY GROUPS TO PLAN AND DELIVER ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES.

Our offer includes a range of services, including the loan of the Toolkit, with training or a full service of facilitation, enabling, and reporting.

The design of the Toolkit enables interactive discussions (either online or face-to-face in groups) to inform the best fit for an engagement plan in light of local situations and purposes. Examples of uses to date include:

Engagement Training for National Highways’ managers
Community Groups to consult with Heathrow’s expansion plans
Young people to agree to priorities for regeneration in Grimsby
DfT staff for the development of Equality research
Gypsies and Travellers for the SW Essex community health plan
Engagement for Surrey County Council on the Local Transport Plan 4
