The England wide survey of Community Development practitioners provides a great evidence base on which to build our knowledge of the important role and impact practitioners play in community life.
The online survey aimed to capture unique information on the roles, professionalism, support networks and benefits of Community Development work.
It uses the National Occupational Standards for Community Development, which were officially launched in October 2009, to define Community Development. The results highlight the range of roles carried out and how managers work with and support frontline workers.
The survey reveals how Community Development is delivered on the ground, how it is evaluated and the role communities play in determining the outcomes. The role played by unpaid as well as paid Community Development practitioners is also an important element of the survey.

The 2009 survey was preceded by a national survey in 2003.
