What are Citizens' Juries? by Kingsley Purdam

25-02-2012

In the UK Citizens Juries have involved members of the public, researchers and policy makers coming face to face to deliberate research, policy evidence and expert opinion over a three or four day period. In relation to a specific policy issue of public importance citizens are supported to pose questions to, and engage in debate with, policy makers and experts and then to reach a decision (verdict) and/or set of recommendations. Citizens Juries are often used alongside other research and public consultation tools such as surveys.
