The toolkit
Best practice for Kirklees PartnersThe Kirklees way of doing things
The Inclusive Communities Framework (ICF) Toolkit provides opportunities for partners across Kirklees to systematically adopt the five inclusive approaches, which are; trusting, equalising, celebrating, communicating and connecting. These constitute the Kirklees way of doing things, that would demonstrate that agencies are putting the principles into action.
The toolkit will ensure that we all have the confidence, competence and ability to act and measure how we play our part in building inclusive communities. It is designed to provide a guide that can be used either by individual agencies or collaboratively with others.
What the toolkit includes
Who the toolkit is for
The toolkit is for use by leaders, managers, and teams, who want to understand more about the Kirklees way of doing things and how their organisation can play their part in contributing to inclusive communities. It can also be used as a tool to check in with your partners and communities, about how well you are doing in adopting these approaches in the work you are doing together.
The toolkit offers examples that are diverse, to reflect the breadth of roles and responsibilities that partners have across Kirklees. These can be adapted to ensure they are relevant and proportionate to your roles and responsibilities. You will find reference to examples of inclusive practice throughout the framework, supporting you to connect to others and work collaboratively on implementing the framework, sharing experiences and ideas across our partnership.
