Liverpool City Council - Consultation strategy


 

Liverpool City Council's consultation strategy

Our consultation strategy 'Listening, Learning, Leading' (MS Word [41.5Kb] opens in new window) provides an account of the principles and procedures that guide our approach to consultation.

Our consultation principles

When carrying out consultation we will:

  • be clear about the purpose and scope of each consultation exercise we undertake
  • give clear information
  • tell people, when we begin a consultation exercise,:
    • why we are consulting
    • what we are consulting on, the context, purpose and parameters
    • who we are consulting with
    • what will happen after the consultation exercise is completed
    • how feedback will be given to consultees
    • the name and contact number of the person managing the consultation  
  • ensure sufficient time is allowed for consultees to respond
  • consult people in different ways, taking account of the different communities in the city
  • give feedback on the results of the consultation exercises we undertake and, where require, explain the reasons particular options have been taken.
