Duty to involve survey - Local Councils

The National Association of Local Councils and Urban Forum are carrying out research looking at the new ‘duty to consult, inform and involve'. The aim is to find out how principal authorities are meeting their requirements under the duty. This survey explores three things specifically: first, the awareness of community groups, local (parish and town) councils and individuals involved in local decision making of what mechanisms or structures are in place for involvement; secondly, people's awareness of changes due to the duty; and thirdly, the role of principal authority councillors in carrying out the duty. The purpose of this work is to find out and understand what good practice exists, what is preventing good practice and to identify what support people need to participate in local decision making.

The survey should not take more than 10-15 minutes and can be found at the link below. Your input is greatly appreciated.
