Communities and neighbourhoods

---

Summary

This tool allows local authorities to assess whether the activities they are planning will have a positive impact on cohesion in their neighbourhoods. The tool currently has two parts - a simple level 1 test and a more detailed level 2 test, carried out if the level 1 test suggests more thought is required. It is a series of simple questions which will be linked to the revised definition of cohesion, which allows all the possible impacts of a policy or activity to be thought through. It requires the user to have current detailed knowledge of:

• Local demography
• Local identity groups
• Local relationships between different groups and communities
• Local perceptions about services and whether they are fairly distributed
