New guidance from the Department of Communities and Local Government aims to help local authorities embed community cohesion in their policies and practice. An accompanying study for the Department by puts the economic case for improved cohesion, which includes a brief survey of health benefits of increased cohesion. More guidance, from IDeA (the Improvement and Development Agency), looks at the importance of community engagement when planning and implementing health promotion and health services. Aimed largely at local authorities, the paper looks at the roles of the voluntary sector and local government as well as NICE community engagement guidance and provides examples of good practice.
