How is the Usergroup run?
There is a Usergroup Board that determines the groups programme of activities and collates users views and opinions for discussion with TLC. Details of the Usergroup Board can be found by clicking here.

How much influence does the Usergroup have?
As the official representative of TLC website users, the Usergroup is the main source of reference TLC has with regard to users opinions about their website and their future needs.

TLC is nevertheless a commercially-driven organisation and it has other 'users' also; namely their advertisers through whom they generate revenue. The TLC Usergroup's primary focus is to represent 'parish' users. There will, from time to time, be conflicts of interest between the needs of 'parish' users, advertisers and TLC itself and in these circumstances the TLC Usergroup will act in the interests of it's 'parish' users.

The TLC Usergroup has no right of veto over the activities of TLC but aims to work in co-operation with the company to effect the best possible site for its 'parish' users.
