Extra Information - Why we have chosen our approach
Our Scoping Consultation asked respondents to rank which method of communication they preferred. Table 2 below shows the number of first choice votes each method received. Preference can clearly be seen for emails/newsletters and social media. There is additional support for the use of DNPA website and drop in events to also facilitate communication.

The graph below shows that we received zero responses to our scoping consultation from anyone declaring their age as below 26. This demonstrates a clear gap in views and opinions from a younger age group. As a result, we will conduct more targeted in person events catered to this audience. We will be approaching a variety of groups involved with younger people to help facilitate workshops to gather views from this demographic.
