Healthwatch England and the Institute collaborate to support local Healthwatch

Healthwatch England is the independent national champion for people who use health and social care services. It supports local Healthwatch to find out what people like about services, what could be improved and share these views with those with the power to make change happen. The success of Healthwatch relies on a robust base of […]

The Week in Parliament

Article / Stephen Hill

Well with the transatlantic excitement of last week now done and dusted, it’s time for the UK to stand up, frantically wave, and perhaps put on some sort of comical costume to draw attention back to itself. It has done so by exposing all the internal battles of No. 10 to the world. Messy, but

The Faulks Review – Judicial review under threat?

Article / Stephen Hill

Most consultors will be familiar with at least the basics of judicial review. It’s a process that allows decisions of public authorities to be challenged in the courts and gives individuals and groups a way to quash or otherwise alter unlawful decisions. It provides a vital balance between the vastly different levels of power represented by the

Three consultation lessons from the US election

Article / Stephen Hill

At the time of writing, President Trump is still resisting calls to concede the election, but the process up until this point has given us much food for thought. Although it would be easy to dismiss it as irrelevant, here at the Institute we think there are three major lessons for consultations that can be taken

The Week in Parliament

Article / Stephen Hill

No-one’s watching Westminster right now are they? Let’s be honest, there are bigger things going on in the world. But that doesn’t make the day-to-day of governance any less important, and I’ve once again been casting my eyes over the Mother of all Parliaments (and only occasionally getting distracted by going down electoral rabbit-holes in

Pre-determination and pre-emption: making changes before a consultation

Article / Stephen Hill

One fairly common accusation levelled at consultors in the media and in court is that of pre-determination. “The decision was already made!” campaigners will cry. We saw an example of this last week in this story where a change to the public sector pay exit cap drew threats of a legal challenge on the grounds

English planning reforms reduces residents’ rights to be consulted!

Article / Rhion Jones

The Institute has responded to the Government’s consultation on Planning for the Future in England. It supports a Government commitment that new arrangements for creating local plans will ensure that ‘communities can engage meaningfully in the process of developing them.’ New local plans will be much simpler than currently, and will be easier for residents

The Week in Parliament

Article / Stephen Hill

We’ll be having a fairly short WIP this week. Not because of any particular aversion to work on my part, but because the chambers across the UK have simply not been providing me with the material. I’m raring to go. That being said, I haven’t helped myself by splitting off the near-weekly update on the

Institute FOI on the UK Internal Market Bill Consultation

Article / Stephen Hill

We’ve been writing for weeks about the controversial United Kingdom Internal Market Bill, following its passage through Parliament and highlighting our own concerns about the consultation behind it. Rather than just doing another update in the Week in Parliament, we thought we’d update you on how and why we’re pursuing this one a little further.

Consultation and the resurgence of evidence

Article, Tuesday Topic / Rhion Jones

Will Big Oil face the same legal challenges as Big Tobacco? A recent Special Report in The Economist had a section heading called ‘Courtrooms are the new battleground for climate activism’. It chronicles the growth in litigation against oil companies and others as campaigners raise the stakes and the climate change debate matures, especially in
