University of Otago,
A new Community Participation Toolkit has been launched at the University of Otago's Department of Public Health.
The resource for primary health organisations was written by Pat Neuwelt and published by Steele Roberts Ltd.
The Community Participation Toolkit will assist primary health organisation boards, staff, member organisations and communities to review their levels of participation and their progress over time.
It is intended to be of practical use to people at all levels of the health sector and has a distinctly New Zealand flavour.
The workbook style of the resource is broken into six key indicator areas including organisation stucture, Maori responsiveness, and consultation and decison-making.
Although designed for PHOs, many of the ideas in the book would be useful to any community organisation wanting to ensure it is connected to and involving of the communities it works with.
