Consultation and Engagement Guidance
At a strategic level, Suffolk County Council consults with
residents, businesses, partner agencies, and staff to inform its
corporate policies and priorities. Consultation enables us to
identify trends and emerging challenges, to plan the allocation of
resources, and to measure the success of improvements we have
implemented. Consultation at a local level helps us to identify the
needs and expectations of specific groups so that we can
incorporate these into the way our services are planned and
delivered.

Councils approach to this area of work. In addition it includes
Guidance, tools and techniques on undertaking consultation and

The guidance also recognises the tailored approaches currently
undertaken by individual directorates within the authority and
includes examples of best practice case studies from each area of
the authority.
