Independent Commission on the Constitutional Future of Wales

The Independent Commission on the Constitutional Future of Wales was set up in 2021 to look at how Wales is governed and options for change. The group of 11 Commission members represented a range of diverse backgrounds to bring variety of expertise and political views. We worked with the Independent Commission on the Constitutional Future of Wales from its formation in October 2021 through until the launch of its final report in January 2023. The Commission was established by the Welsh Government with two  broad objectives: To consider and develop options for fundamental reform of the constitutional structures of the United Kingdom and to consider and develop all progressive principal options to strengthen Welsh democracy and deliver improvements for the people of Wales.

Objectives

  • Look for innovative ways to start building awareness of the Commission’s work
  • Drive engagement with the Commission, in particular through the Dweud Eich Dweud survey and purpose-built engagement platform
  • Educate audiences about the current constitutional structures of Wales and the United Kingdom as well as explaining the options for the future
  • Secure media opportunities for individual Commissioners
  • Monitor media and social media presence of the Commission as well as general attitudes towards it
