Have your say
Welcome to North East Lincolnshire Council’s ‘Have Your Say’ page.
This page will help you find and take part in consultations that interest you. We consider what you tell us and use this, alongside other information, to inform our recommendations and decisions on the related project.
What is a consultation?
A consultation is a process of the public providing their views and feedback on a proposal to consider in the decision-making. Some consultations have to be undertaken as part of ‘official guidance’ within specific projects or pieces of work. Consultations and surveys are also used to seek more general insight and feedback from our communities on certain topics or subject areas.
How does a consultation work?
No two consultation exercises are the same, and how to consult on a particular area/issue or proposed policy/service change or development will be based on each specific project or piece of work.
How can I take part in a consultation?
Consultations are mainly undertaken via online/paper surveys and further insight and engagement can be conducted through focus groups, one-on-ones and pop-up events where necessary.
What are the ‘About You’ questions for?
At the end of some consultations and surveys, you will see an ‘optional’ set of questions titled ‘About You’. We are often asked why we ask questions when the survey might not seem to have an obvious link to them. The reason is it helps us understand who we are reaching with our engagement and if we have gaps (for example age groups, communities of NE Lincs, etc). This could help us look to change how we reach out or share surveys and consultations on future projects and work, hence why we appreciate you taking the time to complete this section.
Not just consultations
We’ve explained what a ‘consultation’ is but that’s not the only type of engagement activity undertaken. This page houses surveys too, from both us and on behalf of partner organisations. We also undertake a variety of other engagement work, such as focus groups, pop-up events and one-on-ones to name a few. We look to ensure the method of engagement fits with the work we are supporting.
Open consultations and surveys
We would like residents of North East Lincolnshire to share their experiences of services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in the area.
The SEND Annual survey helps North East Lincolnshire Council to see what is working well and how services can improve to meet the needs of the children and young people with additional needs, and their families.
To take part in the survey please go to Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) – Parents Survey 2025.
Children and Young People can also take part at Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) – Young People & Children’s Survey 2025.
The survey closes on 20th November 2025.
For more information on the local SEND offer in North East Lincolnshire please visit NELC SEND Local Offer page or alternatively, if you have any questions or queries about this survey or anything SEND related please contact the service by email [email protected]
Imperial College London is investigating the prevalence of social isolation and loneliness in the general population, including NHS patients & staff. You can choose to take part by completing a brief anonymous survey which is available in several languages.
You can access the survey on your smartphone, tablet or personal computer. The short survey is available in several languages and can be accessed on Qualtrics Survey | Qualtrics Experience Management or by scanning the QR code.
Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey.
