We know there are some things we could do better
30
The quality and relevance of consultation responses varies
31
It can take officials a long time to manually process responses
32
It’s difficult to quickly draw insights and analyse the responses
33
It can be slow to set up new consultations, and often requires a lot of support from the digital team
34
We’re often not very good at sharing the responses or our conclusions with contributors, members of the public, experts, policy makers, and the media
