Focus groups are often used to engage with a small group of citizens to understand how they feel about an issue, policy, product, or person. They usually involve six to eight participants being led through a discussion by one or two facilitators. 

Our training course provides practical advice and guidance to help you understand why, how and when you might organise and run a focus group to support your work.

In this course we will cover:

  • what focus groups are, their purpose, and when to use them
  • the key elements needed to design focus groups
  • how to select participants and secure participation, including ways to engage hard-to-reach participants
  • how to run a focus group.

Who the course is for

This training course is aimed at local government colleagues. Please note: there is a maximum of two delegates per council.

The course is intentionally ‘basic’ in its approach and content, and is aimed at beginners. No previous knowledge of designing and running a focus group is required.

Please note, this course will be delivered in English only. All materials will be available in Welsh. The course will last about 2.5 hours.

Booking closes on 6 June 2023.
