How consultations work

Consultations provide a way of having a conversation about a subject. They allow you to get involved and give feedback, which helps us understand your ideas, views, concerns and opinions.

When a consultation closes, we will assess all responses and will act on the results. Working in this way helps to ensure our policies and and the services we deliver reflect your views and priorities.

When consultations close, we will continue to list them for 6 months.
