Citizens forum

On 15 January 2007, the Cabinet Office (CO) announced the establishment of a public engagement strand of the Policy Review, giving a representative group of the population the opportunity to engage in discussing key issues emerging from the Public Services strand.

The Prime Minister hosted a seminar at which he introduced research by Ipsos MORI [PDF, 21 pages, 92KB] outlining current views on public services and how respondents want to interact with government and services in the future. Further detailed research has also been published by Ipsos MORI [External website]

Five regional Citizens Forums will be held in February 2007, feeding into a Citizens Summit in March. The output from the Summit will be considered by the Cabinet on 8 March and form part of the overall Policy Review process to inform the future direction of Government policy.
