As part of the consultation process it is intended that a series of stakeholder engagement events should take place across Northern Ireland around late February – late April 2009 to facilitate structured engagement on the proposals for reform. Consultants are required to organise and facilitate these events in a manner which will allow participants the opportunity to consider and comment on the emerging proposals.
