“Public engagement and scrutiny go hand in hand” – Lesley Griffiths AM, Minister for Local Government and Government Business

The theme of the event in February is Public Involvement in Scrutiny and there will be a speaker from the National Assembly for Wales’ Outreach Team and discussions about how your organisation can involve the public in your scrutiny work. There will also be a demonstration of a participatory technique, icebreaker and evaluation exercise.

Let’s get together and shine a light on scrutiny!

There will also be an ice-breaker and evaluation exercise, and participants will have a chance to network and tell each other about your organisation’s latest work and projects.

It is essential that you book your space early as spaces are limited and the event fills up very quickly. 

If you would like to book a place please return a  booking form to participationcymru@wcva.org.uk or call 029 2043 1757.
