Consultation and community engagement

We aim to engage and involve you in shaping our services, ensuring that local views and opinions are reflected in our decisions.

We have an engagement promise which sets out what you can expect from us. This is part of our legal duty to involve you in the decisions we make.

We will do this in different ways including providing information, consulting you to find out your views and working more directly with you to ensure that your individual needs are being met.

Ways to get involved, find out how decisions are made in your area and have your say about the services you receive

Join our Citizens' panel, a representative group of people who have agreed to complete up to four surveys a year.
Take part in our Current consultations on issues that affect you.
Contact your local councillor.
Find out more about your local Parish and town councils
Find out about consultation and engagement being carried out by North Yorkshire County Council and other organisations in North Yorkshire using a searchable database
Attend an area committee. The county council has established seven area committees, each of which deals with county council business within the area of one of the district councils in the county. Read Council - minutes, agendas and reports of these meetings.
Attend a local community engagement meeting or get involved with your local area group. Some districts of North Yorkshire hold public meetings or events which are attended by representatives of both district and county council, police and other agencies. More information about activities in your local area can be found below:

Particular services within the county council, such as Consultation and community engagement - health and adult services, have their own service user and wider community engagement arrangements.
Contact us to access services or find out further information through our Customer services

We are also working with other organisations in North Yorkshire such as the district and borough councils and the police to make sure we are joining up existing and new consultation and engagement. In this way we should avoid duplication, save resources and get a clearer view of how we can all improve our services. For more details of this work please visit the North Yorkshire partnerships website.
