To assist us with this initial mapping phase I would be very grateful if you could respond briefly to the following questions off list - if you have a SES - by this Friday. * What are the main lessons learned from the process? * What approach have you taken to incorporating age, sexual orientation and religion and belief? * Which groups did you consult with and how did you consult e.g. open meetings, surveys, networks etc? * What was the timeframe for consultation? * How are you going to ensure ongoing involvement of these groups? Apologies for the short time frame, but a paragraph on each point would be enough at this stage. Many thanks in advance.
