Stakeholder engagement framework

Our stakeholder engagement framework is designed to ensure you can contribute meaningfully to our work.

Our framework is built around five principles

Principle 1: We are transparent and accountable

We are clear about what, when and how we consult. We publish information about how we make decisions and explain the decisions we have made.

Principle 2: Our engagement is considered, planned and genuine

We develop plans with the aim of providing time for meaningful, fit for purpose engagement with people who are affected, or have an interest in our decisions.

Principle 3: Our engagement is inclusive

Our decisions are well-informed by input from a range of groups and individuals who are affected by, or interested in our work.

Principle 4: Our information is clear, accessible and simple to understand

We present information in plain language that sets out clearly what we are doing, how people are affected and how they can get involved.

Principle 5: We listen and learn to improve our consultation and engagement

We evaluate and monitor our engagement and consultation, measuring ourselves against these principles.
