Anyone can run a good meeting. The harder question is what happens afterwards. How do you keep communities informed, hold yourself to your commitments, and build the kind of trust that survives setbacks?

We explore the ‘crunchy’ but essential work of accountability in shared decision making.

Jo Anne Kelly from Learning the Macleay shares what happens when the young people start telling the adults what they need. Jake Ellwood from the Queensland Reconstruction Authority explains how accountability helps improve their work. And Eugene McGarrell from Sydney North Health Network is building trust – by asking service providers to open their books.
