Talkback (Oxford's Citizens' Panel) was first established in 1997 and consists of approximately 1,000 residents (aged 16+). The most recent panel was recruited in summer 2006.
Talkback is about finding out what views and opinions residents of Oxford hold on a range of services and issues. The panel was set up as a way to keep us informed about public opinion.
Every effort is made to ensure the panel mirrors the population of the city. Panel members are selected on the basis of where they live, age, ethnicity etc. The views of panel members are important in helping us improve local areas and the way we deliver our services.
Panel members are invited to take part in up to four postal or online questionnaires a year. Occasionally, panel members may also be invited to take part in other forms of consultation such as telephone surveys and focus groups.
To become a member of the Talkback Panel, please fill in the online Talkback Panel Registration Form.
We carefully examine the results of all the surveys, together with your elected Councillors, and use the panel's views to help develop local policies and improve services.
The results to the most recent Talkback Panel surveys can be found on our Consultation Results page along with results and findings to other surveys we have carried out across the Council.
