Adapting the tool

The community engagement tool is being developed through piloting with eight different organisations and so we hope that it will be flexible and be useful in a range of circumstances. However there will always be occasion when it does not quite fit and so it can be adapted to meet your needs. These are some of the ways we feel it may be adapted:

• We have provided questionnaire versions of some of the forms, for use with a range of officers or with community members. You may want to tailor these to your own circumstance, by adding logos or tailored explanations at the top of questionnaires.

A word of caution: If you are collecting information to feed into the WWF / CAG research, then any changes you make to the forms or the way they are used should not change the sort of information you are collecting and sometimes it is not possible to change the tool. The guidance notes for each part of the tool indicate where this is possible.
