Democracy Matters Phase 2: analysis of responses - easy read
An easy read version of an analysis report of responses to the second phase of the Democracy Matters engagement process, which ran from August 2023 until February 2024. During this time, communities from across Scotland came together to consider how decision-making should look.
Participation
More people would take part in decision making if they knew it could change things for the better.
More people would take part if meetings were held at different times and places. It would also help if there was better transport to meetings, childcare, cover for loss of work and accessible information.
People should be paid for their time at meetings, through cash, vouchers or paid childcare.
People should be able to take part face-to-face or online. Meetings should be accessible and make people want to attend. A community event or a sports event should include food, refreshments or childcare.
