Open Government action plan 2021 to 2025 - commitment 5: participation

Overview of the participation commitment, including milestones and their co-creation process, alongside progress reports submitted throughout the action plan.


Co-creation

In July 2022, an online public idea generation workshop was held, focussing on the Participation Commitment for Scotland’s Open Government Action Plan 2021. This was facilitated by DemSoc, with a presentation from the Scottish Government Team leading on this commitment. You can view the outputs of this workshop here.

Following this workshop, a working group was convened to draft a commitment, taking account of the outputs of the workshop as well as recommendations from a range of other areas of work. This group met on a weekly basis to collaboratively draft the commitment, using Google Docs to facilitate this collaboration. 

Group membership:

  • Amy Watson - Scottish Government
  • Annie Cook - Democratic Society
  • Dave Beck - University of Glasgow
  • David Reilly - Scottish Government
  • Doreen Grove - Scottish Government
  • Juliet Swan - Involve
  • Kelly McBride - FutureGov
