N2  - There is increasing recognition of the need for new and innovative ways to support children and families, particularly at a time of increased demand and limited resources. Some local authorities are starting to move away from a top-down model of service delivery to one that empowers communities and facilitates active citizenship. The role and potential of communities has often been overlooked, yet evidence of their potential is strong and has been brought to the forefront during the pandemic. This briefing introduces a range of practice examples from across the sector and explores:

• What is meant by community development.
• Why developing community capacity is important.
• The challenges of community development.
• How to put community development into practice.
• Key steps to consider when developing community capacity.
