The Inspector-General of Emergency Management (IGEM) acknowledges that effective and meaningful stakeholder engagement is pivotal to building and maintaining trusted networks and legitimate relationships. Such networks and relationships are required as the foundational step along the long-term, evolving journey to enacting and influencing sustained behavioural change and enduring partnerships.
The Stakeholder Engagement Framework outlines how the Office of the IGEM will engage stakeholders in its projects, strategies, and decisions. In line with the Queensland Government's goals for a responsive government, it details the principles the Office of the IGEM will follow to ensure stakeholder perspectives are consistently and meaningfully considered. The framework aims to direct the Office’s stakeholder engagement, encouraging input on common issues, promoting collaborative problem-solving, and harnessing stakeholders' collective knowledge.
The Engagement Framework sets out the:
- scope of the IGEM’s engagement activities – who will be engaged and the kinds of operations within IGEM’s scope
- foundation principles that will underpin IGEM’s engagement activities
- different levels of engagement and the tools that IGEM will use to engage with stakeholders, recognising that tools and strategies must be tailored to suit the decisions, activities, and processes the IGEM is seeking to engage on.
