Social Policy

Last modified: October 11, 2007 - 12:54 AM

In recent years the term "Social Capital" has been used to describe the social cohesion that binds people together as a community.

A number of indicators such as connectedness and trust are commonly used to measure the social capital within a community.

The Author Robert Putnam who coined the term "Social Capital' argues that social capital is equally important for the public good as economic well-being.

The aim of this policy is to ensure that the community's social values are recognised, protected and promoted in all Council's activities.  The policy will be used to guide Council's decision making, policy setting, planning and the allocation of resources.
