Lecture 06 of 7

Handling exclusion when you find it

What to do once an assessment or a consultation surfaces real exclusion, rather than recording it and moving on.

Reading lecture40 minWritten questions to do

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.
