Consultations

Lambeth Council believes consultation and public involvement are at the heart of good decision making. We are committed to consulting widely when making decisions and we will actively listen to the views of the public and others with an interest in the services we provide.

These pages provide a variety of resources for members of the public who want to know how Lambeth consults, when we are consulting, what we are consulting on, and what the results of consultation are.

Developing services for people with physical and sensory impairments

Learning disabilities consultation

Lambeth Council and the Lambeth Primary Care Trust (PCT) working with our partner agencies, providers, carers and people with learning disabilities have produced the 2008 to 2013 draft Joint Commissioning Strategy Your Care, Your Way. We would like you to tell us whether you think the right issues and actions have been identified, whether you disagree with anything, or if you feel we have missed out important things.
