This is the first session of the Public Administration Select Committee’s (PASC) inquiry into public engagement in policy-making. The Committee will be take evidence from people and organisations with experience of facilitating and analysing public engagement with central and local Government. The Committee will hear about how and why people want to be involved in policy-making; and what “open” policy-making means for the role of the Civil Service.
Particular issues to be explored may include:
- levels of public participation and engagement in policy issues;
- digital inclusion and barriers to engagement;
- the relationship between “open” policy-making and strategic leadership.
