Cohesion delivery framework: overview
“This document is the starting point for anyone interested in what cohesion is and why it matters. It draws on the work of the independent Commission on Integration and Cohesion, who spent nine months examining how people around the country are getting involved to help make their communities better places to live. It explains the practical things that local authorities and their partners in the public, private and voluntary sectors can do to build places where everyone shares a sense of belonging. And it signposts the support and advice available from central government.”

Integrating new migrants: communicating important information
Important new resource which is intended to help local authorities (and others) develop ‘welcome packs’ for new arrivals. The resource is in four parts:
- A generic information resource that can be used as the basis for an information resource in your area
- Analysis of existing information resources; a list of factors that support a successful information resource; a decision-making self-assessment tool; an outline plan and critical path for producing a resource
- Tools and guidance for involving community stakeholders
- A generic framework to help you monitor and evaluate information resources.
Lots of good ideas for contacting, consulting and informing new migrants.

Engaged library: Chicago stories of community building
"This report illustrates a variety of ways local libraries contribute to community development, looking at multiple layers of involvement: individual, voluntary associations, institutions, economy, place, and, importantly, the stories they tell about themselves in their communities.
The Urban Libraries Council hopes this report will spark other communities to investigate the catalytic work of libraries in their communities, to understand the rich contributions being made, and to tell their stories."
