Citizens' Panels
A Citizens' Panel is a sample of residents who have volunteered to take part in a range of consultation exercises.The Citizens' Panels in Derbyshire are operated on a district basis as a partnership between Derbyshire County Council and the district or borough councils. Panel members are recruited by a postal questionnaire, and are asked to take part in regular surveys and focus groups. The county council has responsibility for running two surveys a year and the district or borough councils may also run two surveys a year.
There are eight district based panels in Derbyshire, with 1000 residents on each panel. This creates a county panel of 8000 residents.
Residents complete around three or four questionnaires per year on a range of local issues.
The Citizens' Panel Guide explains the make up of the panel and how it is used.
