Consultations
Welcome to the consultations section of our website.
When we are planning changes to any of our rules, policies or procedures, we need to consult with our stakeholders. Because we want to obtain as wide a range of views as possible, we consult extensively, with a particular focus on those organisations which represent the lesser heard groups and individuals in the community.
While we do invite specific organisations or individuals to take part in our consultation exercises, they are none the less open to everybody. Effective consultation is a valuable aspect of our stakeholder engagement because it both informs us and helps us to do our work.
