What are committees trying to do? Influence Engage Set an agenda Hold to account

What can committees actually change in government? because a committee (for example)… … receives new evidence …listens to different voices or commissions new research … hears different analysis …achieves cross-party consensus …becomes more open …compels government to talk … has a forum for lesson learning …provides space to review and learn … changes how it operates …undertakes scrutiny that stimulates change … operates in a different context …influences third parties through its work, who then influence government … is seen differently by citizens …is seen to have fulfilled its unique scrutiny role Note not only trying to change government

What can you contribute? Government… … because you (for example) … receives new evidence Provide oral and written evidence including your own data and anecdotal evidence; allow site visits and committee engagement with your stakeholders; suggest new witnesses. … hears different analysis Provide oral and written evidence including your own analysis and ideas. …becomes more open Build a relationship with relevant committee teams - brief staff on possible areas for questioning of ministers. … has a forum for lesson learning Provide ideas for new areas of committee work; provide evidence of the impact of government policies … changes how it operates Stay in touch with committee agendas; engage committees with existing campaigns; build coalitions using committee work as a catalyst. … operates in a different context Highlight the contribution of committees within your organisation and amongst your stakeholders. Note not only trying to change government

What new trends are there to look out for? More chairs (and members) developing their profile Greater efforts on public engagement Some appetite for joint working Desire for feedback
