Events
During the consultation we held a number of events to help you to find out more, give us your views, listen to others and have your say.
These were held across northern Staffordshire in a number locations. Overall, we attended or held over 70 events, meetings and focus groups in order to help to engage as many people as possible and also help us to reach those with protected characteristics and identified in our Equality Impact Assessment and Quality Impact Assessment reports.
We tested our approach with a group of local people, community representatives and voluntary sector we set up to support us with planning the best locations for events and the best ways to give you access to the right information you need to have your say. You can read about this group and notes from meetings in Stakeholder Checkpoint Group.
