Documents & Forms
You can read more SpeakUp documents. We try to keep them all brief and write them in a simple language so they are interesting to read. You can also easily adopt them to use in your own organisation.
- Protocol Guide for Requests regarding Voluntary and Community Sector Representation via SpeakUp - this document invites statutory bodies to look more into the ways in which they engage with representatives from the voluntary and community groups
- SpeakUp Forum Representation Form - this form is being used to receive all needed information from the statury organisations seeking representation from the voluntary and community sector
- SpeakUp Representative Feedback Form - this form will be used by SpeakUp Representatives to feed back to the voluntary and community sector if any aditional (to summary minutes)information is needed
Please feel free to use these documents as templates for developing your own ones. Please contact SpeakUp, if you need the above documents in Word format.
If your group is using any documents that could be shared by others as an example of good practise please contact us.
You can also find it useful to look at the Consutation toolkits.
