About

The Civic Impact Framework gives universities a robust approach to reflecting on and amplifying their civic mission. Developed in partnership with sector leaders, it encourages institutions to document actions, assess progress across seven key domains, and co-create locally meaningful metrics with partners.

Its flexible, discussion-driven method helps universities build stronger, evidence-based strategies and partnerships with local authorities, NHS organisations, and communities. Suitable for guiding Civic University Agreements and informing Knowledge Exchange Framework submissions, the tool prompts ongoing improvement and innovation in civic engagement.
