The SSRO strives to ensure that stakeholders are clear on the decisions that have been taken following their engagement in the consultation process, and understand what changes are being made and why. The SSRO usually publishes a consultation response document to enable this.
Individual stakeholder responses may also be published on this website following a call for input, issue of a working paper or consultation where the SSRO has been clear at the beginning of the process that it intends to do this, and the stakeholders have provided their consent.
