Ageing

Report of public dialogue (PDF)

We commissioned a deliberative public dialogue as part of our in-depth inquiry on ageing, to help us to ensure that the policy changes we recommended is ethical, rational, informed and inclusive of public values.

Thinks Insight & Strategy (previously known as BritainThinks) ran this dialogue for us in the summer of 2022. The dialogue involved 24 members of the public and explored people’s views on our draft recommendations and provisional findings of our in-depth inquiry.

The public dialogue followed a number of smaller engagement workshops that we designed and ran across the country, speaking to a variety of people about how science and technology might support them as they grow older.
