The process of drafting this strategy commenced with a well-attended conference in December 2002, at which many of the major issues were discussed. There followed wide-ranging consultation with many organisations and individuals before the publication of a ‘Draft for Consultation’.

Please note that this is a large file and can take a significant time to download.
To begin with, the consultation process consisted of three seminars at which it was possible to discuss more fully the many questions the draft report raised.
