Citizens’ Panels

A citizens’ panel will typically be made up of 500-2500 citizens; their views feedback on options or proposals or local services normally through a questionnaire. Please see the Leicestershire’s Voice section of the site for more details about the Leicestershire Citizens’ Panel.

Panels provide a representative view of public opinion. They are useful in considering changes in services.

Panels are useful as ongoing sounding boards, but we are more likely to get useful results when we ask questions about something the members know and care about.
