-:NEW:-Dialogue with the Public: Practical guidelines was produced by People Science & Policy Ltd for the Research Councils UK and the Office of Science and Technology. It is intended primarily for those relatively new to communicating science or who are making the first steps to move from a monologue approach to a dialogue style. 

The guide covers the issues that any activity organiser might expect to encounter.  Each chapter follows a similar format with a brief discussion followed by some guidelines on issues to think about, some examples and an organiser’s checklist.  The intention is always to help maximise the audience reached and the interaction with that audience.
