An External Stakeholder Reference Group has been established to ensure appropriate input to the review process. Membership of the Reference Group has been drawn from the key stakeholder groups involved in the scheme and represents a broad cross section of interests and expertise.

Information about this Reference Group is available here.

A range of other consultation strategies, such as one on one meetings, forums and workshops will be employed as required.
