We evidence the long term impact of PB processes and the benefit of empowered participation in a range of areas including health, social care, education and housing as well as on democracy.

This may help to address what the Poverty Truth Community describes as ‘the poverty of participation’. In a health and wellbeing context this will develop our understanding of the public health value of PB processes.

Indicators of progress includes:

an improved understanding of the positive consequences of better participation including impact on democracy, sense of influence, health, wellbeing, safety and belonging
an improved understanding of what best practice for PB looks like by checking practice against the PB Charter and exploring the potential to develop a kite mark
in the longer term; evidence of improved services better equipped and informed to meet needs (following from Christie Commission)
