Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, with reference to page 16 of the Government’s Civil Society Strategy, what steps her Department has taken to support the spread of Citizen Commissioners.
The Civil Society Strategy is a forward-looking long-term strategy. We continue to promote community engagement in commissioning to stakeholders at relevant meetings and events including the Commissioning Academy for public sector decision makers across the country. We have held discussions with organisations involved in Citizen Commissioners schemes to understand success factors and options for the future.
