This report documents the results of road-testing two frameworks for assessing community participation: Active partners: Benchmarking community involvement in regeneration and Auditing community participation: An assessment handbook . The report examines whether the tools were useful, what worked most effectively and how the tools might be amalgamated on the basis of what was learned from the road-testing. The practical difficulties involved in using the tools were also explored. The lessons learned have enabled the production of a new companion handbook for development and assessment, Making community participation meaningful, which combines and develops the original frameworks.
