21st March Forum Meeting Minutes

The 21st March Forum meeting on “Stronger Voice and Representation for SE15 Residents” proved very successful, with lively contributions from PVSF members and some inspiring presentations.

Draft minutes of the meeting, featuring key messages from the presentations, can be found via this link …… PVSF Forum Meeting minutes 21 03 2013 draft .

The workshop sessions engaged Forum members in discussion about four important questions if Voice and Representation is to be strengthened:

  • Who Do You Need To Influence?
  • How And Where Can You Influence?
  • What Messages Do We Want Those People To Hear?
  • How Do We Organise Ourselves To Ensure This Can Happen?

The points made in response are briefly dealt with in the minutes, but a more detailed list was prepared from all of the workshop notes in order to provide the next meeting of the SE15 Consortium Steering Group on 26th March with a more comprehensive document on which to plan its work over the next year. This can be accessed via this link …..  PVSF Forum Meeting workshop feedback

Forum Meetings are held quarterly, the next is due to be held in June 2013. The date, time and subject will be confirmed shortly.

PVSF Forum Meeting 21st March

It is more important than ever that people are able to get their voices heard, know how to influence the right people and be involved in steering decisions about the places in which they live and the services that are provided to them.

Our forum meeting will look at developments for a more effective and inclusive pathway for voice and representation of SE15 residents, including the smallest and most isolated voices, to better engagement with Southwark Council, other public services, policy-makers and opinion formers.
