This site was set up in 2008, to help people find Government consultations more easily, and to show that it could be done: quickly and easily. The site has never been funded as such, and has relied on volunteers for maintenance and support. It hasn't had much maintenance recently and this shows: some consultations can't be found and some functions don't work as they should. We are currently seeking funding for a new version of TellThemWhatYouThink.
In the meantime, you can search a limited number of departments for open consultations at the Directgov Consultation Finder.
A consultation on ordinary residence will run from 21 April to 17 July 2009.
The attached consultation document is seeking views on the revision of the Department's guidance on the ordinary residence provisions in the National Assistance Act 1948 (current guidance is contained in LAC(93)7). It is also seeking views on draft Directions that set out local authority responsibilities when ordinary residence disputes arise and draft cross-border arrangements for dealing with ordinary residence disputes between English and Welsh authorities.
The consultation document has been screened for equality issues.
Here are the documents we were able to locate that relate to this consultation:
