On 14 March 2018 the Minister for Housing, Communities and Local Government launched the cross government Integrated Communities Strategy Green Paper. The consultation on the Green Paper ends on 5 June and it is open to everyone. The Government is keen to hear from a wide range of interested parties, including those who work with migrant groups and resident communities.

Responses to the consultation will help inform thinking and help Ministers make decisions on future policy development. The government expects to publish a response to the consultation later this year, setting out what respondents have said, and how it proposes to move forward.

Bristol City Council would like to facilitate a consultation process so that they can contribute to this important debate.

If you have a specific interest you are welcome to join the specific workshop and leave during the break. If you have an interest in more than one issue please participate in 2 workshops
