Consultations

 

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.

The guidance sets out legislation and government guidance, including the new duty to involve, as well as Suffolk County Council's approach to this area of work. In addition, it includes guidance, tools and techniques on undertaking consultation and engagement activity.
