Recruitment of Calderdale's Citizens' Panel

Calderdale Council has operated a Citizens' Panel for approximately ten years. The Citizens' Panel is an important part of the Council's consultation strategy to understand and monitor changes in residents' perceptions of local services and quality of life issues in the area. The Panel currently comprises around 1,000 members of the public in the district. In accordance with good practice, the Panel is completely refreshed every three years and MVA has been commissioned to undertake this in the Spring of 2006. The refreshed Panel will comprise 1,500 members of the public who will be prepared to answer questions in the Council's Talkback Survey or participate in consultation events arranged by the Council.
