Public participation - Institutionalising deliberative democracy

Podcasts By The Scottish Parliament

A Committee recently published its report into Public Participation at the Scottish Parliament.

This builds on recommendations made by a Citizen’s Panel which met in October and November 2022 to answer the question “How can the Scottish Parliament ensure that diverse voices and communities from all parts of Scotland influence our work?".

In this podcast, The Citizen Participation and Public Participation Committee's convener, Jackson Carlaw MSP, speaks with Professor Sabina Keston-Siebert, Adam Smith Business School, Glasgow University and Dr Andy Williamson, Centre for Innovation in Parliament, Inter-Parliamentary Union, to discuss the report and its implications.
