Co-production: an asset-based approach to involving citizens in service change

The Institute is regularly approached by public bodies seeking to conduct consultation that meets best practice standards. Increasingly those who approach us are wrestling with the challenge of meeting the requirements to co-produce service change, which policymakers in all spheres of public activity require as a first step rather than an additional activity bolted on.

Budget 2020: The mystery of the missing consultation

Article / Stephen Hill

Today we had the first budget of the new Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, and it was undoubtedly a budget of two halves. The first, dealing with the ongoing crisis over coronavirus/covid-19, and the second dealing with the more humdrum affairs of government and starting the implementation of the Conservative election manifesto. Much like

Meeting the challenges of cross-border consultations

Article / Simon Angelides

Writing a chapter on Achieving Excellence in Public Participation and Consultation for the recently published book Regulation of Extractive Industries: Community Engagement in the Arctic gave me the opportunity to reflect on the specific circumstances of a single consultation crossing not only international boundaries but also diverse cultures.

The power of consultation… Over time?!

Article / Stephen Hill

Here at the Institute we are firm believers in the power of consultation. Done well, it can not only lead to more general public involvement, but lead to better decisions being made. It can be used to assuage doubts, to inform the public, and to ensure that all decisions are well scrutinised. But here’s one

Health Inequalities: Court rejects positive discrimination challenge

Article / Rhion Jones

The latest legal challenge to NHS service changes in England has resulted in a victory for local Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) in Kent.

The importance of young people’s political engagement with climate change

Article / Shaheena Ahmed

Climate change is a popular topic that is currently dominating the political and public agenda. It’s clear that climate change is no longer a technical, economic, or financial question. It has now become entirely a political one – and young climate activists are keen to get involved! Last year, a petition with almost 12,000 signatures

R (Williams) v Caerphilly County Borough Council: Strategic planning under the microscope

Article / Stephen Hill

One of the big cautionary notes that Councils must always be aware of is not only what the status of their documents is, but also how those documents are seen from outside. The most prominent case on this was R (Flatley) v Hywel Dda [2014] EWHC 2258 (Admin) in 2014, where the High Court determined

Greener petrol consultation not necessarily a no-brainer

Article / Rhion Jones

As climate change rockets up the political agenda, we are surely going to see a steep rise in the number of initiatives to make us a ‘greener’ society. This week’s consultation on introducing slightly less damaging fuel to our petrol/diesel forecourts is a great illustration of the pressures that will arise as decisions are taken

The Week in Parliament

Article / Stephen Hill

A couple of weeks ago, I predicted that the once dead-zone of agriculture and fisheries was going to become a key battleground for consultation in the imminent future. That imminent future is now here. Was it more imminent than you thought? The most interesting subjects in the Commons came up in ninth and tenth sittings

Using strategy to create a ‘Glocal’ consultation

Article / Simon Angelides

Perhaps one of the greatest challenges of consulting internationally is that of running a broad consultation which spans more than one country or region but is simultaneously accessible on a local level. Can a consultation really be ‘glocal’? It can: a consultation can be consistent in its purpose and messages while remaining relevant to its
