Summary

This report documents the results of road testing two frameworks for assessing community participation: Active partners: Benchmarking community participation in regeneration (Yorkshire Forward, 2000) and Auditing community participation: An assessment handbook (The Policy Press, 2000).
This report will enable users of the handbook to understand the practical issues they will face when applying the new assessment framework. Both the report and the handbook are essential reading for community activists, public sector practitioners, regeneration managers, teachers and academics.
