Bucks Food PartnershipParticipation Ladder
The Ladder of Participation is focused on the active participation of young people, however it can also apply to any community interaction situation.
As Food Citizen organisations it is also helpful to assess how we are gaining feedback, opinions, suggestions and input. Whether its about design of projects, aspects of an event or food access scheme.
In planning stages it helps to think about the authentic nature of our work and be honest.
