This report aims to raise awareness of community empowerment and promote such a shared understanding across scrutiny bodies to support high-quality scrutiny of community empowerment.

 It may be used as a tool by public bodies as they develop their own approaches to community empowerment reflecting the particular challenges and environment each body faces.

This material has been kindly provided by the Scottish Government Community Land team.

This training material was developed in a collaborative project between Angus, Dundee, Perth and Kinross and Fife.

It is the result of creative collaboration over several months for the 4 Councils involved, and we are delighted to present and showcase the final product!
