Background and Context. A framework for public engagement and participation, called “The Public Participation Network (PPN)” was developed within each local authority area (engaging in and within municipal districts and at the County level) to enable the public to take an active formal role in the policy making and oversight activities of the Local Authority’s areas of responsibility. The PPN is the main link through which the local authority connects with the community, voluntary and environmental sectors without prejudice to other consultation processes. The aim of the structures and processes is to facilitate and enable the public and the organisations to articulate a diverse range of views and interests within the local government system, not to reduce or homogenise this diversity. A parallel and equally important aim should be to facilitate the local authority in making better and timelier decisions. Members of the local community interact with local government at different levels. The PPN facilitates input by the public into local government through a structure that ensures public participation and representation on decision-making committees within local government. The Network performs its functions following core principles to facilitate active participation with decision-making bodies as identified earlier i.e. participation, trust, accountability, transparency and independence. Goals and Objectives. To develop the Public Participation Network in Co. Kildare which: • Facilitates the participation and representation of communities in a fair, equitable and transparent manner through the environmental, social inclusion and community & voluntary sectors on decision making bodies. • Strengthens the capacity of communities and of the environmental, social inclusion, and community & voluntary groups to contribute positively to the community in which they reside/participate. • Provides information relevant to the environmental, social inclusion and community & voluntary sector and acts as a hub around which information is distributed and received. In particular the role of the Network will be:
Background and Context. Loughborough University’s mission is: • To increase knowledge and understanding through research which is internationally recognised • To provide a high quality international educational experience with wide opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds which prepares our graduates for the global workplace • To influence the economic and social development of individuals, business, professions and communities We want our students to reach their full potential regardless of their background before joining the University. It follows that we are committed to ensuring that finance does not present a barrier to the admission and progression of students whilst recognising that we must secure sufficient resources to maintain the high standard of the student experience which we offer in partnership with Loughborough Students’ Union. The University is located adjacent to Loughborough, a prominent high-technology centre for the East Midlands, on an impressive 433 acre campus which is one of the largest in the UK. Our undergraduate degree programmes, many of which have been developed in partnership with employers, are characterised by a combination of relevance to employment and research-led teaching. The majority of courses offer a sandwich year opportunity enabling students to develop their skills further. Where applicable to the discipline, all degrees have received accreditation from the relevant professional body. The nature of many of our courses means that prior knowledge in certain subjects, e.g. mathematics or science, is often required for admission. Our teaching quality is rated amongst the highest nationally and our students have an outstanding record for employability. The University’s location and the distinctive nature of its degree programmes has resulted in an undergraduate student body that is predominately full-time, the majority of whom are young and living away from home . We recruit nationally accepting students from all parts of the United Kingdom. Loughborough is proud of its record for the admission of students from under-represented groups. Within the limits of the statistical significance of the data, we are already meeting or close to the relevant HESA benchmarks for socio-economic group, low participation neighbourhoods, mature students and students in receipt of Disability Allowance.
