Working better together in neighbourhoods

Six principles to support neighbourhood working

Our research has suggested six principles to support neighbourhood working between communities and statutory services, building on existing enablers and aiming to reduce the barriers to future impact and spread.

Working together to take forward these principles requires stakeholders at all levels to make best use of their assets and capabilities, in enabling local health creation, addressing inequalities and empowering people to live happier, healthier and more fulfilling lives.
