Position Statements

Through the Stronger Communities Programme, The Forum is creating a range of 'position statements', which reflect the key priorities of our members (including those members who are experts in a specialist area).

These position statements will help the Forum to clearly and confidently represent the views of our members, particularly at strategic partnership meetings.

Have a look at our flow chart to see how your input can make a difference.

A series of themed networking events, a key element of the Stronger Communities Programme work, brings together members to discuss issues which they have a shared interest in. We then agree on a set of priorities relating to these issues

Through the site you can further prioritise issues to inform decisions on which are most important and then comment on the final statements
