We support the recommendation of the Independent Review of Adult Social Care in Scotland for better participation in decision making by exploring PB as a way to share power over decisions about mainstream budgets. By doing this we might bridge locality planning and the work of Integrated Joint Boards.

Indicators of progress includes:

more public sector partners are testing and developing good, accessible and empowering PB processes
an increasing level of active citizens (measured by numbers, diversity, experience and stories of impact)
people and communities report feeling listened to, valued and are able to participate in decisions on policies and services that affect them. Benchmarked against national evidence to capture benefits and outcomes of PB processes
evaluation of both process outcomes (how people have benefited from taking part) as well as the difference in decisions taken associated with PB
more Integrated Joint Boards piloting and embedding PB processes, with increased numbers of citizens participating
