Answer

We recognise and fully support, the role that civic society plays in supporting policy making, through co-design and co-production approaches.

Ministers have recently written to Executive colleagues to seek their views on the proposed reestablishment of the Civic Forum on a compact, flexible and agile basis, which would complement the growing direct involvement of stakeholders in co-design in policy formulation.
