Intelligent Mapping within the Coventry and Nuneaton Regeneration Zone (CNRZ)
The mapping exercise involved a major programme of structured interviews with a wide range of organisations, the majority of whom were voluntary and community organisations delivering services to those unemployed and under-employed within the Coventry and Nuneaton Regeneration Zone. A total of 45 interviews were completed as part of this programme of work.
In order to ensure this process of consultation was as inclusive as possible the programme of individual organisation interviews were augmented with a major workshop. This involved more than 60 representatives of local community, voluntary and statutory organisations.
The purpose of the Coventry and Nuneaton Regeneration Zone ‘Bridges to Success’ workshop was to provide an important opportunity for participants to help shape future priorities and projects to support disadvantaged groups in the labour market within the Regeneration Zone (RZ).
