Public Participation and Engagement for Allied Professionals - Hosted by IAP2 Canada

P2 and Engagement for Allied Professionals looks at the perspective of those working in other professions who may be responsible for ensuring that P2/engagement is conducted, or who provide support or oversight to P2 and engagement processes. It explores the underpinning models and frameworks of public participation and engagement practice as defined by the IAP2 community, specifically in terms of what it is, who is involved, standards of practice, why it is important to be practiced ethically and effectively and the unique and critical role that allied professionals serve.
