Our advisory boards provide information and advice to inform the development of our learning, training and engagement offer.

The expert advice of these boards contributes to ensuring that our activities meet the needs of target audiences, and deliver relevant opportunities for discussion and training on topics where there is a local or global need. The boards also bring expertise and connections to support the programme’s development, and offer independent feedback on our activities and impact.
