How do the National Participation Standards link to the National Principles for public engagement?

The National Principles for public engagement are principles and not standards. They are an overarching set of principles aimed at Public Service organisations across all sectors in Wales. They aim to sit above any specific standards that you may already be using, for example, Standards for Children and Young People, Social Service Improvement Agency standards and are intended to compliment them. They aim to offer a consistent approach and good standard for public engagement across Wales.
