It's Sunday evening and I can't seem to put my finger on what to say in English!

English translation:(seen and) heard
Explanation:
I'm guessing the meaning is that everyone is taken into consideration and has the chance to provide input. In English, think I'd be more likely to say something along the lines that everyone is heard, or maybe even that everyone is seen and heard.
