AnnotationThis guide provides advice on what local authorities can do to support learning for effective citizenship - that is, for people to have the knowledge, skills and sense of empowerment to play a meaningful role in local decision-making. The guide includes examples and case studies on what many local authorities already do to widen participation, and suggests further ways in which councils can support people in learning how they can become more involved.
