Consultations
The Office of the Third Sector is involved in wide-ranging consultations with its stakeholders, and we work alongside other organisations on formal and informal consultations relevant to the sector. This part of the site brings together details of consultations and surveys from across our different areas of work to gauge your views and help you have an influence on government policy concerning the sector.

- Code of Practice on Consultation [external website]
On 22 July 2008 the Government published a new Code of Practice on Consultation. This Code is based on the results of a review of Government consultations in 2007 involving many people who regularly respond to Government consultations. The new Code will apply from November 2008 to all central Government departments' formal, written consultation exercises.
