Civic Pioneer audit

Portsmouth signed up to a memorandum of joint commitment between the city council and Home Office in November 2004 and became one of 24 national Civic Pioneer authorities.

By signing up the council committed itself to:

•  Active citizenship - giving citizens more opportunities and support to become actively involved in defining and tackling problems of their communities and improving quality of life
• Strengthened communities - helping communities with developing their capacity to form and sustain their organisations to bring people together to deal with their common concerns
• Partnering in meeting needs - involving citizens and communities, within the established democratic framework, more effectively in improving the planning and delivery of public services

As part of the work, the city council undertook work to produce an audit of engagement opportunities and produced a report. The work can be found here:
