The Community Development Foundation CDF has produced a free guidance paper to assist people in demonstrating the contribution of community development   work in achieving public sector objectives.  It aims to help people to keep community development alive, by proving its impact in a language that will resonate with those in charge of local authority decision making. It looks at what chief executives will be concerned with and how to relate to this. Details are from the English system, which, as the paper notes, are now likely to change anyway. But “we anticipate that the focus on the core themes of [public] satisfaction, inspection and value for money will remain largely the same.”
