- Community engagement can be complex. There are lots of online and offline tools available to enhance and facilitate participation.
- Different tools have different merits and considerations associated with their use. These can vary depending on the purpose and context they are used in.
- To help achieve a ‘best practice’ standard of community engagement in an increasingly digitised world, practitioners can adopt a 'blended approach' which embraces both online and offline techniques.
