We are particularly keen to get different voices actively involved.  There is a great difference between ‘diversity’ in practice, and ‘inclusion’ in practice.  It’s a bit like with ‘diversity’ thinking you are being invited to the party… whereas with ‘inclusion’ you are being asked up to dance...we are asking stakeholders to dance with us.
