Section Six: Inclusion and involvement
Inclusion and involvement: resources that support community organisations to include a wide range of people in their work
- CLD rightly emphasises its role in respecting equalities and promoting social justice. This means that to promote broad based participation, there must be a clear understanding of equalities issues in order that excluded groups are identified and encouraged to participate. There is a good amount of relevant material available, but we recommend the DIY guide to improving your community as a good example. It focuses on work with children but it is based on clear equalities principles and suggests approaches that can be adopted in other contexts. Another useful resource is Same Difference? which is an online guide for people working with equalities groups in community learning and development.
