In addition to this we will be having members from Office of Ethnic Communities wanting attendees input into this survey.
In addition to this the Office of Ethnic Communities would like to hear your views on ethnic community participation in civic processes by conducting a short survey:
• Democratic and political processes (e.g.) enrolling to vote, voting and completing the Census
• Local government and council (e.g. involvement in council decision making processes and attending council meetings)
• Community engagement and Voluntary work within the community (e.g. involvement in community and school boards)
