Lesley Griffiths AM, Minister for Communities and Tackling Poverty
I wish to update Assembly Members on work to promote Welsh Government’s ‘Principles for Working with Communities.’
Welsh Government has considered the variety of terms used to describe work with communities, acknowledged the need for Welsh Government to be clear about its expectations and discussed the current interest, within and outside of Welsh Government, in active communities. Given the current diversity of theory and practice relating to this field, it would be unhelpful if Welsh Government sought to promote one particular model of working. Therefore, Welsh Government has set out the principles which, it believes, should underpin work with communities.
