Diversity and inclusion
We encourage attendance from members from ethnic minority communities as these groups are underrepresented in our sector. We welcome all voices, whether spoken, issued prior to meetings, or during meetings electronically.
Most meetings are in hybrid format to allow more members to take part regardless of distance, travel cost and other factors that might hinder face to face attendance. If you can’t attend face to face, select the hybrid option when booking.
