Gofyn Access Panel 2024
Pembrokeshire County Council launches Gofyn access panel
Pembrokeshire County Council’s Access Team are launching Gofyn – a way for people with impairments / disabilities / additional needs to have their voices heard where it counts, whether it’s about a new road layout or a new lunch club.
Gofyn will also provide a way for organisations to ask people who may use or access their product, development or service how to make it work for them.
You have questions?
Great – that’s literally what Gofyn is about! Gofyn means ‘Ask’ – so this is all about questions. Questions are how we learn what people want, and how we can best make things work for everyone.
How will it work?
People across Pembrokeshire are invited to sign up as a member of Gofyn and tell us what they are interested in by completing our online survey. When we become aware of any consultations, or an organisation comes to us and asks for Gofyn members’ thoughts, ideas or comments we will reach out to any members who are interested and ask them to provide feedback.
This means things should work better for people who want or need to use them from the start, and won’t need redesigning to be accessible later on (making things quicker, cheaper and ready for everyone from the start).
Please get in touch with your questions via ‘phone, email, text or letter. We can even meet you somewhere to talk about Gofyn if that’s what you need us to do. If you’d like to communicate using another format, please let us know.
