The Health Canada Policy Toolkit for Public Involvement in Decision
Making
Level 1
When Do We Inform/Educate?
- Factual information is needed to describe a policy, program
or process
- A decision has already been made
- The public needs to know the results of a process
- There is no opportunity to influence the final outcome
- There is need for acceptance of a proposal or decision
- An emergency or crisis requires immediate action
- Information is necessary to abate concerns or prepare for involvement
- The issue is relatively simple
