Amongst the different public sector organisations, PCTs are very often responsible for decisions that are affect huge numbers of people and cover issues that people feel strongly passionate about.
These issues and decisions are often difficult. This makes it all the more important to consult on them, but at the same time all the more daunting a prospect.
We've been running online consultations since 2004, frequently around difficult or contentious issues. Particularly…

The internet can seem a risky place to engage with people on Policing matters but already this year we're seeing Authorities using it to great effect - joining the conversation, increasing the quality of discussion and engaging with more people.
One pertinent topic right now is the budget with many opinions on how people think their Authority should spend their funds. Already this year, we've worked with 3 Police Authorities to…

MHRA’s medicines information discussion site goes live
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), the government watchdog responsible for ensuring that medicines and medical devices work and are acceptably safe, has commissioned an online discussion site asking the public whether key information about medicines should be available online.
The discussion site, aimed at health professionals and the public, asks whether making the MHRA’s definitive database of patient information leaflets (PILs) and…

We like the Consultation Institute. Their courses are interesting and they've come from nothing to national prominence in just a few years, all impressive stuff.
But occasionally, when it comes to online consultation, they seem to miss a few tricks. Their newsletter this week is interesting, reflecting as it does on media stories that the government may be putting its new 'Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act' on hold. For…

Further to
my post last week about delivering the
BBC Trust's online consultation system, here's a pleasing example of it in action: the Trust are currently running a
consultation on the BBC's on-demand services and have been promoting it through
iPlayer.
We like this for a few reasons:

Moving to an online-based budget consultation is a great first step in increasing engagement - and given the potential to connect via the internet, I thought it would be a good idea to put together a document containing tips on
how to boost response levels for an online budget consultation.
After four years of working with Councils on
budget consultation, we've seen a lot of strategies for maximising the…

Take a look at our
video about the National Dialogue we ran on Health, IT and Privacy, which asks the question "How should we expand the use of information technology and protect personal privacy to improve health care?".
On the eve of the 2008 Presidential Election, citizens and stakeholders from across the US convened to create a vision for the future of America's health, IT and privacy policies. We worked…

Consultation, Democracy and government, Engagement
Yesterday I popped down to the
Public Affairs News offices to chat to their editor - Ian Hall. The nice guy that he is - he offered to do a quick interview with me for their
PAN TV section. [see below]. I'm never massively good at chatting on camera (I'm making a considered effort to get better!) mainly due to my over "errring".
Anyway, the main thrust…

Consultation, Engagement, Good examples
Back in November last year we worked on a project with the
National Academy of Administration (NAPA) aimed at creating a debate and gathering ideas around the issue of "Health IT" - called the
National Dialogue on Health IT. The project itself was relatively low-key given it was run in the final weeks of the Presidential elections and most people in government had bigger things on their minds.

Tell Them What You Think beta
A massive government-wide consultation finder database! About time!
Its currently in beta so its not all singing and dancing as yet, but what a fantastic premise. We at Delib are no stranger to a consultation finder database but the scale and utility of this site deserves some extra attention.
On a personal note Im a big fan already and was actually directed to it from a…
