 Hi, I'm Jackson Carlaw and I'm the convener of the Citizens' Participation and Public Petitions Committee. Now, we've spent over a year looking at how people like you can engage with the Parliament and contribute to its work. And during that time, we've heard from a range of people and considered lots of different ideas. Some of the most interesting ideas were suggested to us by a citizens panel that was set up to provide input to our work. Now, a citizens panel is a randomly selected group of people from different parts of Scotland who come together to learn about an issue and then come up with recommendations. And one of its main recommendations from our report is that citizens panels should be used more regularly in the future. We believe that this can be a really effective way of giving ordinary people a voice in how new laws are made and how the Scottish Government has held to account, complementing the representative role of MSPs. Our report also considers lots of other ways in which the Parliament could become better at public participation. This includes looking at how the Parliament provides information about its work, the methods that people can use to express their views and even suggestions for how the proceedings in the Parliament's debating chamber could be done differently. Our report is now available and I would encourage you to read it. There's a long version with lots of detail but also a shorter version that summarises our main findings and which is available in a range of languages. And we have published a short summary in British Sign Language and Easy Read 2. Find out more about the committee and its work at parliament.scod.
