Third Digital Dialogues report released
Digital Dialogues is an independent review into the use of online technologies to enhance engagement between central government and the public.This third report in the Digital Dialogues series from the Hansard
Society shows that government can successfully use the internet to
engage, consult and build public trust - providing it follows a few
simple rules:
- Government departments must be adaptable and willing to take risks;
- Transparency and timely feedback to participants is essential;
- Government departments must be clear about the purpose of
the consultation and the ways that participants' contributions will be
used;
- The right people - ministers and senior policy makers - must be involved;
- Evaluation is essential to ensure that departments learn and improve on the basis of experience.
