To implement stakeholder engagements As planned above but with the outcome by next workshop that there is a mandate to continue Workshop 3 overview

To help your visions become successful projects, you need to gather ideas from people with as many different outlooks as possible. List the different groups of people who may have an interest in your school and how it progresses (Stakeholders). Discuss how each stakeholder group can have their opinions heard Complete the stakeholder landscape template for each of your project ideas Task 1: Identifying stakeholders

To engage the identified stakeholders successfully, it is important to consider what their role will be in supporting your project In small groups, decide which inclusion practice is best for each stakeholder group. As a whole group discuss any differences of opinions Gain school-wide agreement as to which Stakeholders will be engaged and how. Task 2: Engaging stakeholders

(Dictated or Imposed are not recommended) Inclusion PracticeExplanation Delegated Responsibility is given to a stakeholder group and their plan is accepted. ( We would be cautious of such an approach) Co - developed The development of ideas is shared equally. Both parties have equal opportunity to influence the final solution Consulted and debated Stakeholders are consulted before a plan is written up then this plan is opened up for debate in an open meeting Consulted Stakeholders are consulted Informed Stakeholders are kept informed about the process with no clear way of them becoming involved Stakeholder roles

Each stakeholder role requires different forms of communication from the school and different inputs and outputs from the stakeholder. The next slide shows the different expectations for each stakeholder group Using your stakeholder landscape, discuss in small groups what communication and expectations you will need to consider to ensure that your relationship with your stakeholders benefits the success of your project These discussions will form the basis of your stakeholder engagement plan Groups feed back on their engagement plans Task 3: Stakeholder communication
