Background

VAL is holding an open consultation events to gather views on how the voluntary and community sector should be represented on a range of partnership boards. At present the system varies from one board to another and can be very ad hoc. For more information, and a copy of the working paper describing the current system and proposing changes, see: voluntary & community sector representation.
