Thank you for your interest in joining the People’s Panel It’s a great way to tell us what you think of living in the Braintree district and how you would like to see services improved.

Who can take part in the People’s Panel

We want panellists from all areas of the district, representing all age groups and backgrounds. The only restriction is that you must be over the age of 16. To make it easier to take part we can send the questionnaires in large print, over the phone or in different languages.

To help ensure that the People’s Panel reflects Braintree district’s population we need to know a few things about you and ask that you complete this short application form.

How the People’s Panel Works

Three or four times a year we will ask you to complete a short survey either by post or electronically. The information you give will be collected and read by elected councillors, service managers and senior council officers and will be used to help make decisions about issues in the district. We will send you a regular newsletter with the main results from the questionnaire and any progress or
decisions that have been made as a result of your feedback. As a thank you for your time and effort, there will be a regular prize draw with prizes donated by local organisations.

Your responses are confidential and your details will not be passed onto anyone else. All information will be used and stored in accordance with the data protection act.
