Ett samråd är en grupp som regelbundet träffas för att fatta beslut om ett specifikt område eller inom en del av organisationen.
Samråd håller möten där vissa är slutna och andra är öppna. Om de är öppna är det möjligt att delta i dem (till exempel: att närvara om det finns plats, lägga till punkter på dagordningen eller att yttra sig om de förslag och beslut som fattas).
Exempel: Ett årsmöte (som träffas en gång per år för att bestämma om organisationens verksamhetsplan samt utse dess styrelse genom omröstning), ett jämställdhetsråd (som möts varannan månad för att lägga fram förslag om hur man kan förbättra jämställdheten i organisationen) eller en utvärderingskommitté (som möts varje månad för att bevaka en dialog) eller en granskningsgrupp (som samlar in rapporter om incidenter eller missbruk samt förslag som kan förbättra beslutsprocesserna) är alla exempel på samråd.
