Participation reports
A participation report is the public response to an actual process: it describes scope, method, themes received, institutional responses and resulting changes. When no actual process has closed, the page does not fabricate statistics or conclusions.

In brief
Reports complete the democratic cycle: after requesting participation, the responsible institution must explain how it handled what it received. Without an actual process, the honest response is “no report published”.
How the Constitution structures this subject
Which process generated the report
Each report must identify the consultation, hearing or other originating proceeding.
How contributions were handled
Aggregation, anonymisation and analysis criteria must be sufficiently clear.
What changed — or why it did not
The response must explain relevant effects and address material points.
Preserved public version
Final reports must remain searchable and linked to base documents where legally public.
How it works
Close submissions under the published rule.
Aggregate themes and preserve relevant disagreements.
Record the authority’s position and any resulting changes.
Make the report and next steps available on GOV.
Limits and safeguards
- This page contains no invented demonstrative figures.
- A report does not turn a consultation into a vote or presume consensus.
- Personal or protected information must be minimised without erasing the substance of participation.
