Consultation process
A survey launched through LetsTalk. The planned consultation period will be a 4 week period through the month of February. We are working with Engagement colleagues to design the survey. We plan on utilising the networks of our infrastructure partners (OCVA and CFO) in order to share the survey to as many VCS groups as possible.
Consultees
We will consult with local VCS groups, as they are the ones who would be eligible to apply for through the new policy.
