Public Dialogue on Drones in the UK

Tender description

The Department for Transport (DfT), Ministry of Defence (MOD) and Sciencewise wish to commission research to understand public views on the use of remotely piloted aircraft systems in the UK. This includes views on issues related to safety, security, privacy and data-protection. It is expected that this research will involve one or more stakeholder engagement events followed by a programme of deliberative workshops held across the United Kingdom in all devolved administrations. In line with Sciencewise practice this will be referred to as a Public Dialogue project throughout and there will be an emphasis on promoting discussion and debate both between participants and between participants and key stakeholders. Irrespective of this it is expected that this work will be conducted in line with best practice for rigorous qualitative research as well as relevant Cabinet Office and Government Social Research (GSR) guidance.
