Holmes Dyer is a leader in undertaking and facilitating engagement. We design and deliver engagement processes that are transparent, inclusive and fit-for-purpose.
Whether it be seeking input from the community, or public authorities and agencies, key stakeholders or staff, Holmes Dyer will tailor a programme to achieve the highest levels of engagement.
We have extensive experience in the application of IAP2 (including staff with full IAP2 accreditation), fully understanding the need for the level of consultation and the process to be clearly aligned. We also appreciate the need to design engagement processes to best entice input from the target audience.
We will always check for statutory consultation requirements, ensuring that where there is a requirement for statutory consultation, the statutory obligations are fully met and in cases it might be appropriate for these to be exceeded.
Our staff have wide and extensive experience in taking consultation to the people, assisting to make it easy for people to access the consultation and thus providing for superior input rates.
Our team facilitates workshops, forums, surveys and digital engagement to ensure stakeholders and communities have a voice in shaping outcomes. We focus on building trust and consensus, delivering insights that inform practical and supported decisions.
