When reducing budgets, mainstay services such as education, social work etc are untouched however, with properly invested CP support structures, a range of differences could be achieved especially to support the early intervention and prevention agenda. 

There is greater levels of expectation to support community involvement and decision making etc but little and reducing resource to achieve. The only way statutory agencies are to tackle the generational issues around poverty are to look at slicing budgets from the top end of the issue and releasing more energy and scope at the bottom end, to prevent the issues escalating.

More needs to be done to identify how the legislation framework translates to every day activity, engagement models and support to communities.

A critical aspect is that of engagement and consultation where following participation in a CPD course provided by the Consultation Institute, I would see this as a most valuable aspect of training.

Community mapping and understanding community politics would also be very uiseful, especially when linked to consultation and engagement exercises. This also links more braodly to managing competing views and aspirations. 

Another key function being more widely linked to CP is that of PB and training and development around the concept, practical examples and a deeper understanding of why PB is beneficial would be good.",Sometimes,Sometimes,Sometimes,Sometimes,Seldom,Seldom,Sometimes,Sometimes,"Data that provides trends is most beneficial however, I recognise that there are limitations to how this data can be used. 

People based data I feel provides more depth and qualitative outcome e.g. focus groups etc. A typical example is that where we present information to communities suggesting we have supported x people into employment and reduced crime by x % in the community for the community involved to tell us nothing feels different.",Often,Sometimes,"This is something I feel strongly about. More often now I relate work to ponds and pence wherever I can as it's often the only way decision makers understand what needs to be supported. More in depth analysis of the effects of key issues would be beneficial. For example, a simple understanding of the average cost of a single youth crime would help in relation to promoting diverting more funds to intervention work. This might be available but if so, is incredibly difficult to obtain.

If a table was available with many of the most common factors (even those identified as SIMD) this would be very beneficial.

We also need to better understand how we better manage perception based data within communities. Again, if agencies feel they are channelling resources effectively based on outcomes and hard data but communities tell us otherwise, how do we better understand the perception based data.

More data linked to smaller spatial sets would also be beneficial.",We do not have enough capacity/resource to undertake our own research,We do not have enough capacity/resource to commission research from others,,We do not have the capacity/resource to undertake our own data analysis,We can rarely find data that is at the appropriate spatial scale,,,,"Having the ability to clearly demonstrate that by taking x action y is the defined result. Quite often, CP activity at grassroots level aims to tackle issues that are multi disciplinary or involve a wide range of interventions and activities therefore identifying which particular intervention or activity has caused or created change is very difficult.

Similarly, many of the issues we aim to tackle are based on proving a negative e.g. tackling isolation. This is more effectively measured by involving people but resources mean we can't engage with everyone all the time to realise if measures we put in place are effective.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
