Engage in Salford

Community engagement is taken seriously in Salford. It is fore grounded in Salford's Community Plan and in the Salford Agreement. Engage in Salford is a network for those concerned with the delivery and management of community engagement in Salford. It will build on the good work of the Salford Involvement Network (SIN) and will offer support to make sure that community engagement is delivered in line with the Community Engagement Strategy for Salford, and the community engagement objectives of the Salford Agreement (Salford's LAA).
