## Notice

Ten years ago, the National Principles for Public Engagement in Wales were created to help organisations carry out consistent and effective public engagement.

The principles are currently being refreshed to reflect the new legislative and public services landscape.* National Principles for Public Engagement* National Principles for Public Engagement - poster* National Principles for Public Engagement - PowerPoint* National Principles for Public Engagement - easy read version* National Principles for Public Engagement - PowerPoint on easy read* National Principles for Public Engagement - Evaluation toolkit* National Principles for Public Engagement - checklist* Practitioners' manual for public engagementPractitioners' Manual for Public EngagementThe Practitioners' Manual (see Appendix 1) was developed to support the implementation of the principles. The manual was produced by WCVA's Participation Cymru, on behalf of the Welsh Government, in association with public sector practitioners.
