PLACE STANDARD PROCESS EVALUATION
MAY 2017

16. EVALUATION – KEY FINDINGS
Place Standard – How Good is Our Place?
EVALUATION – KEY FINDINGS
Feb recorded applications (11,000 people) across Scotland (up to 1000 participants in 1 application)
Approximately 70% of Local Authorities
A tool to support community engagement

17. EVALUATION – KEY FINDINGS
Place Standard – How Good is Our Place?
EVALUATION – KEY FINDINGS
Local reach was dependent on context, scale and method of Place Standard implementation.
Where demographic details were known, women were more likely to engage than men.
Representation from young people was low across some of the case study areas.
Being flexible in Place Standard application was perceived as key. Considering the user group, scale, context and outcomes helped to determine the method of use.
Key skills to implement the Place Standard include project management skills, community engagement or facilitation skills, particularly qualitative data analysis.

18. EVALUATION – KEY FINDINGS
Place Standard – How Good is Our Place?
EVALUATION – KEY FINDINGS
“Our reach was higher than we ever have had before. We also reached a lot of protected characteristic groups and those that wouldn’t typically engage in any type of consultation”
“Being a good facilitator and having this experience was key to the overall process”
“I would say the barrier would be around engagement, Engaging with the right people and representative groups. Yes, this can be challenging”
“We cannot afford to do all this work, engaging with the community, and nothing happens”
“The Place Standard Tool does not lend itself well to short-sharp consultations”
“The results of this inclusive approach far outstrip the resourcing costs…..the amount of groups we have met through this process was worth it”
