August 13, 2026 by Open Government Team No Comments | Category Uncategorized

In the Open Government Partnership, we are committed to communicating clearly, honestly and meaningfully with each other on our shared priorities.

We share timely, collaborative stories of our work on trust and transparency, anti-corruption, public participation, and the ethical use of digital technology and open data.

Meaningful engagement is a key part of every commitment. We create opportunities for people to share ideas, ask questions and be part of a two-way partnership.

If your organisation has shared priorities or are currently collaborating with Scottish Government, then join the committee working on communications and engagement supporting a trustworthy and transparent Scottish Government.

The work

As part of the Open Government Action Plan 2026-2030 we are looking for people and organisations with relevant knowledge and experience who are interested in collaborating to:

• accessibly communicate our shared priorities with relevant audiences
• collaborate on Open Government strategic communications and engagement
• connect people and networks with meaningful engagement
• develop core messaging on shared work
• create content for blogs and socials
• provide feedback and challenge

The roles

• Committee member

The group meets monthly to look at long term planning, review content, generate ideas, and respond to data and feedback.

Please consider what works best for you and your organisation.

We want to be flexible so that both you/your organisation and Scottish Government get the most value out of this partnership.
