During the winter of 2020/21, Carnegie UK ran a series of online conversations under the banner Rethinking Scotland. We asked for people’s views on what needs to happen and who needs to act to put some of Scotland’s big ideas into practice.
The report Rethinking Scotland: Action required to include more voices in policy-making in Scotland is now available online.
The key shift they identified was in the need for greater democratic wellbeing, by opening up policy making to more diverse voices, and moving from consulting to sharing power with citizens and communities.
We are publishing this to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the Christie Commission in order to support the shared agenda of improving public services for our citizens and communities.
As always, we are happy to discuss the issues and insights or receive any feedback on this paper.
Best wishes
