SERVICES
Holmes Dyer is a leader in undertaking and facilitating engagement.
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. We use a range of techniques across a range of media, including social media along with face to face and in person engagement as required.
Key techniques include static and/or staffed displays, questionnaires and/or surveys, presentations, public meetings, charrettes, forums, workshops, idea exchanges and small group discussions. We provide dedicated telephone and email contacts where required and
utilise social media and websites to reach out to stakeholder groups.
We will sit with you to fully understand your requirements and then tailor a programme that will involve as many elements as required.
