A suite of guidance materials has been produced to support government departments with developing their Long-term Insights Briefings. These set out what’s required by the Public Service Act 2020, good practice for what to include and how to develop the briefings. The suite of guidance materials includes both high-level guidance and more detailed guidance. We also provide downloadable templates that will help agencies let us know when we need to update our public repository of all the live consultations (on topics or on draft briefings) and final briefings. These should be completed and emailed to the Commission’s Communications team at the relevant stages.
