The NCCPE has identified four principles which, when considered together, can help you achieve high quality projects across all forms of engagement, no matter their scope and scale. The high quality framework principles are purpose, people, process and evaluation.

You can use the four principles to help you plan your engagement project. It is also important to return to these principles as you develop and deliver your project to ask:

  1. Is your project meeting the purpose you set out?
  2. Are there additional people that should (or shouldn’t) be involved, as people you are engaging with, or stakeholders and intermediaries? 
  3. Are your processes fit for purpose?
  4. What improvements could/should you make?

This guide, from 2022, outlines some of the ways in which you can put this framework to use to plan your own engagement activity.
