Community Leadership

Councils have been leading their communities for decades, but the role has now been formally recognised as a Community Leadership Service.

The service brings together some key departments and co-ordinates our work on the ground with our strategic plans and goals.

Our Community Leadership and Engagement Framework includes important details about how we work, and how we plan to develop our work, with local communities.

The departments in Community Leadership are:

Area Democracy

      Supporting councillors to engage with local people.

Emergency Planning

      Protecting our community and safeguarding our welfare.

Marketing & Communications

      Helping people to know about our work and access our services.

Research & Intelligence

      Gathering, analysing and sharing vital local facts to improve services.

Voluntary & Community Sector

      Working with community groups to provide services at local level.

Worcestershire Partnership

      Bringing local authorities, businesses and key organisations together.

More information

A broader explanation of community leadership explains how democracy, partnership and local people’s sense of ownership are vital parts of a successful community.
