Consultation strategies
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.
