The aim of the document
The Government aims to give citizens a greater level of involvement in shaping policy and plans, whether this be in from an individual, work or societal perspective. Part of delivering this is to give people the opportunity to comment publicly online about ideas, proposals and plans.
The objective of this guidance is to ensure that commentable documents promote trust in government, through application of consistent and transparent practices.
