We understand the importance of ensuring that people are given the opportunity to be actively and purposefully involved. As a consequence, we always work with the view that solutions are always individual to local communities, and local ‘ownership’ is always part of the solution.
Inclusivity is key to the work we do and we are aware of issues that need to be addressed when working with diverse groups of people; e.g. cultural sensitivity, timing of meetings, accessibility of venue, child care provision.
We believe in reaching decisions through consensus as a truly inclusive process inevitably leads to solutions that are owned by everyone.
