RESPONSES TO CONSULTATION DOCUMENTS

The Council responds to consultations on a wide range of health and social services issues. The Board has an obligation to consult us where it proposes changes to services in the Southern area. We are also consulted by central government on a range of policy initiatives.

This section of the site allows the reader to view many of our responses over the past year. All documents are in PDF format. To read responses from further back, click the Responses Archive link.

"Help at Hand in Responding to Consultative Documents"

We have published a practical and user friendly guide to assist the hundreds of voluntary and community groups being asked to respond to a huge number of consultative documents. The guide entitled ‘Replying to Consultative Documents - A Guide to making your voice heard’ was approved by the Plain English Campaign and was widely circulated. It offers a step by step guide on how best to respond to consultative documents and deals with key questions such as, what are consultative documents, why respond and what should be included in a response.

This guide can be downloaded as an Acrobat (pdf) file - DOWNLOAD
