The main reason the PPNs were set up is to enable community groups to be represented and to feed into local government decision-making in a way that is fair, clear and respectful. The PPNs have three main areas of interest, also called ‘Pillars’:
- Community and Voluntary
- Social Inclusion
- Environmental
On becoming a member of a PPN, each organisation is asked to select the Pillar which represents their main interest. The Pillars nominate and elect people from within their Member Groups to represent them on some of the Boards and Committees set up by the Local Authorities and other bodies. This is key to the participation part of the Public Participation Networks. This is how the voices of Member Groups are included and heard when it comes to the policy and decision-making process.
