Consultation guides
Nottinghamshire County Council has produced 12 consultation 'good practice' guides. These have been produced as part of the County Council's commitment to improve the support available to Council employees and our partners carrying out consultation.
Improving the way we consult helps us all to achieve the Council's strategic aims and meet all the needs of Nottinghamshire's diverse community.
The guides provide a five-step plan to consultations from the running, analysis, feedback of the results and the decisions taken to residents and stakeholders.
