Stakeholder Engagement
Large private and public sector organisations have a duty under new legislation to engage with their communities to ensure that any new development or major change which may affect local people is fully consulted upon.
Freshfield’s stakeholder mapping clarifies the needs of the various stakeholders, including councillors, community pressure groups and MPs, to then decide the most relevant form of communication, whether online, direct engagement or an event.
We have experience of providing comprehensive stakeholder engagement programmes for the NHS, the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), LNG Storage (National Grid) and BG Storage.
Our specialist team keeps track of important legislative and policy changes such as The Localism Bill – being passed through Parliament this year – which will directly affect how organisations should consult and engage with local communities and demonstrate local input into the decision-making process.
