In this lecture
- Distinguish a finding from a response
- Prioritise responses within a limited budget
- Report back to the people who raised the issue
A finding without a response trains people not to speak
A community that raises an exclusion issue and sees no visible response learns, correctly, that raising it again is a waste of their time. The response does not have to be immediate or complete, but it has to be visible.
Close the loop, even with a partial answer
Reporting back - even to say a raised issue could not be funded this cycle and why - keeps a consultation channel usable for the next round. Silence after a finding is what ends participation, not the limits of the budget itself.
