- Gender based violence may be added to the key change themes. Donna
to attend the Network meeting in March to expand further. There are
key theme groups with no voluntary sector involvement as yet.
Donna explained that the groups above met less but talk more via email
etc.
The need for more support for Donna’s role was also discussed; the EYC is
only part of her remit.
Issue for Network to discuss
Involvement in Workstreams was with the agreement that this would be a
Network representative role and those involved would provide regular
feedback. Feedback on involvement in the EYC has lapsed and needs to be
reinstated so the wider Network is kept informed.
Also key theme groups where there is no Network rep need to be discussed
and advertised
