background

the starting point was the sector's activity doesn't reach everybody therefore we need to look at our own practice, and do some outreach with marginalised/excluded groups to set up a dialogue about how to improve inclusion, so,there are 3 elements:

· Have a regional look at marginalised groups

· Helping forum members look at their own practice

· Helping the Growing Up Management and Delivery groups to look at their own practice
