What is a People’s Commission?
A People’s Commission is a way for local people to have their say about a controversial policy issue that is consistently one of concern yet is normally only discussed and debated above their heads in Parliament or the national media. Like a citizens’ jury, a People’s Commission offers a way for citizens to have their voices heard and listened to at the highest level.
The result of the People’s Commissions will be fed into the Independent Asylum Commission’s report later this year which will provide politicians and policy-makers with recommendations for reform of the UK asylum system.
A People’s Commission is simply a one-off meeting local people who use a toolkit provided by the Independent Asylum Commission to have a discussion about the guiding principles that should govern how the UK treats those seeking asylum, sanctuary or safety from persecution. These guiding principles will be fed back to the Independent Asylum Commission’s distinguished team of Commissioners to reflect on before making their recommendations.
Please let us know if you intend to come and provide your name and contact details by emailing Kath Sainsbury at Justice First on: justice-first@btconnect.com.
