How can the new government win back trust and see off populism? Today we Demos publish our Citizens’ White Paper, setting out how the government could embark on a new era of public participation in policy making to help achieve just that. Read it here: demos.co.uk/wp-content/upl…

Brilliant work by Miriam Levin, Hana Kapetanovic and Sarah Castell, chief executive of the participation charity Involve, who partnered with us on this project - backed up by the teams at both organisations

Le renouveau démocratique priorité du nouveau gouvernement #UK 🇬🇧 et de son premier ministre Keir Starmer extrait de son discours inaugural : "la bataille pour la confiance est celle qui définit notre époque politique". 🤞Espérons que cela puisse se propager jusqu'à nous 🇫🇷🇧🇪🇪🇺

Some v good suggestions in this report about greater public participation in policy debates, eg, citizen involvement in select committee inquiries and in new government mission boards. It also argues for citizen involvement in migration policy to help reset public debate.

A new government is such a big opportunity to rebuild trust - but it can’t just follow the same formula. Excellent column by Martin Wolf Financial Times on the new Citizen’s White Paper from Demos involve ft.com/content/40bab0…

This is critical work from Demos it is essential we build back public trust but truly engaging them and this is how to do it.

Lots of great stuff in here to digest and think about, and some very practical recommendations for embedding public participation in policy making! Tweeters please note, not all public engagement = citizens' assemblies 🙃

Our Citizens' White Paper is the first piece of research to set out why, when & how participation should be embedded at the heart of national policy making. Deliverism and standards are important, but for the Prime Minister to resolve the Trust Crisis, participation will be key.

And… with my The Policy Institute evaluation hat on: it is important to embed evaluation of programme of public participation, to ensure that it, indeed, does what it says on the tin, ie improve trust etc. Else, it may backfire! Susannah Hume. Great report Miriam Levin Demos.

Important work from Polly Curtis Sarah Castell Miriam Levin on how we open up the The Labour Party missions to participation. The challenge & risk of division is significant & I can’t see how we get there without explicitly and directly engaging v large numbers in them - great work 🙏

Thanks Martin Wolf - we agree and we loved the Demos Citizens' White Paper: "The idea is to select representative groups of ordinary people affected by policies into official discussion on problems and solutions." It's why we influence in partnership with our EbE Board!

Totally agree Andrew Harrop. I'd love to talk to you about this.

Looking forward to tmrw's Patients Association session on improving NHS communications. I'll be talking with Rachel Power and 2 patients who've experienced the problems first hand about Demos's 'I love the NHS, but...' report 👇 demos.co.uk/research/i-lov…

Air punching, yes calling out, start to day Patients Association Terrific session Rachel Power Miriam Levin ,Rajendra+Matthew. Communication is key. Yet again, working together comes out as a start to solution finding. Systems that talk to one another is my wish for all.#spirograph
