A strengthened approach for 'Rural Proofing' government policies
We've produced a refreshed and strengthened Rural Proofing Toolkit to help policymakers ensure policies take account of rural circumstances and needs.
The refreshed Rural Proofing Toolkit:
-
builds on learning from use of the previous model
-
includes more specific practical advice concerning the needs of rural areas
-
emphasises that ‘sparsity’ and ‘rurality’ are essential considerations of good policy making
-
highlights examples of effective rural proofing within government
Individual government departments have a responsibility to ensure policies and delivery arrangements consider people in both rural and urban areas, so the guidance covers a broad range of policy areas.

Our major conference for government policy makers will re-launch the government’s commitment to rural proofing. The May event will explore how rural proofing approaches can be applied to policy development processes.
