Join Paul Broadbent from the National Measurement Office to discuss lessons learnt from the recent public dialogue on Leap Seconds; a project to determine the importance to the public of a link between time and the earth’s movement. The dialogue was commissioned by the NMO to inform a ministerial decision on how the UK should vote on an issue which is internationally controversial. The webinar will cover the value of the public dialogue, how it will help to create a better policy and what, if any, surprises the dialogue uncovered.

Introduction to public dialogues webinar 17th March 1300-1400 hours
When policy makers are dealing with complex and controversial issues, engaging with the public can be critical. Public dialogue has been developed as a key tool within the open policy making agenda, enabling policy makers to bring the public voice into challenging policy areas which are usually the preserve of experts alone. A core element of Open Policy Making within the Civil Service Reform Plan, public dialogue is central to the drive towards more responsive, innovative and effective government and has an established track record of delivering results in complex and controversial policy areas.
This short introductory session provides the core essentials that policy professionals need to know about public dialogue. It gives an overview of what public dialogue is, what it means in practice, and the impact it can deliver. Participants will explore a range of real life case studies, consider where and when it might be relevant for their own work, and understand the financial support and services that are available to UK policy makers on public dialogue.
Learning outcomes:
- A solid understanding of the public dialogue approach; when and how to use it; the impact it can have.
- A knowledge of real life case studies
- Understanding of the relevance of this approach; and pathways to further support
