CS Consulting achieves these goals by:
-
Engagement - beginning, ideally, even before work starts on site. This may get the locals on board at an early stage, making the subsequent process a lot easier.
-
Regularly communicating the progress of the project through newsletters, open meetings, site tours, notices and so on.
-
Set up 'hands-on' workshops for local people to provide better engagement.
-
Set up an exhibition that shows the project in full to help people see the 'bigger' picture.
-
Providing opportunities for feedback through meetings, etc.
-
Provide an online presence in the form of a dedicated website to provide project information and regular updates.
-
Spending in and supporting the local community.
-
Employing people local to the project.
-
Working with local schools and colleges e.g. by giving talks, bringing students to site, providing work experience opportunities, etc.
-
Showing courtesy throughout.
