Restarting our News and Insight Column

We’re pleased to relaunch the News & Insight section — a space for practical updates, reflections, and commentary on consultation and engagement. Each article will focus on the issues that matter most to practitioners:

– legal duties and case law that shape public consultation

– lessons from local and central government, health and infrastructure projects

– practical insight and approaches to support fair, defensible processes

Alongside regular updates from the tCI team, we’ll also be inviting guest columnists to share their perspectives. These will include voices from across health, local government, and infrastructure — people with first-hand experience of what works, and what doesn’t, when consultations are under pressure.

Expect short, regular articles that highlight risks, showcase good practice, and offer ideas you can put into use. Our aim is to make this a useful, trusted resource for anyone involved in planning or delivering public consultation.
