Deliberative Public Engagement Nine Principles
Intended Audience
Those working to develop and deliver better public services, promote social cohesion and foster a thriving democracy.
- Involve and the National Consumer Council
2008
“Deliberative public engagement is a distinctive approach to involving people in decision-making. It is different from other forms of engagement in that it is about giving participants time to consider and discuss an issue in depth before they come to a considered view. The aim of this document is to encourage and support deliberative public engagement in public policy.” (p.1)
