Our online consultation system, Open Debate, makes community and stakeholder engagement more accessible, interactive and auditable; inevitably helping record valuable support for new plans, projects or developments.
The system currently helps a range of businesses, including renewable energy developers, house builders, leisure companies and planning bodies, to consult with more people than the more traditional consultation methods do, reaching people who wouldn't normally take part in consultation.
Presenting all the information normally produced for the planning process and inviting local people to register and comment online, means that consultation becomes a simple and interactive process, and that all data is fully auditable. We use search engine optimisation and marketing, social media tools and digital PR to help drive people to our online consultations.

We have developed an online consultation master system for Go Ape, a multinational high-wire forest adventure company. The system enables Go Ape to communicate their plans to local residents in an informative and transparent way. They benefit from version three of the Open Debate system, which means they can research and sort registered users, create bespoke mailing lists and add 'offline' contacts such as councillors or public event attendees. The Open Debate admin area can be accessed from anywhere in the world, allowing both colleagues in the UK and Australia to keep the website up-to-date at all times.
