Consultation Strategy
Walsall Council’s Consultation Strategy (WORD 515KB) was approved by Cabinet on 18 April 2007. Its purpose is to provide a framework for the council to obtain the views of all citizens, partners, and other users of our services, and to use the information obtained to inform decision making by the council.
The strategy seeks to ensure that whenever local residents and partners may wish to participate in shaping our borough, our local communities and services, there is an opportunity for meaningful participation to take place.
The strategy builds on the existing good practice that already exists within the council. The strategy will ensure that the council contributes fully to consultation and engagement activity within the Walsall Borough Strategic Partnership (WBSP), sharing our arrangements with our partners as well as learning from, and tapping into consultation activity undertaken by those partners.
Our strategy is written in the context provided by the revised Community Engagement Strategy, launched by WBSP in October 2006, and by the Local Compact, launched in September 2005. The council has signed up to both the Compact and the Community Engagement Strategy; this document shows how the council will be backing that commitment with a set of measurable actions.
