A significant amount of work has<br/>already taken place to identify our key areas of work and C&I have also developed a related<br/>Peer Workforce strategy<br/>this will be shared with the awarded contractor to supplement the current requirements.<br/>We require the support of a contracted provider to develop the content and implementation<br/>of this so that it reflects the status and aspirations of the partnership i.e. ensure BEH and C&I<br/>key stakeholders views and feedback are incorporated and we conclude with a co-produced<br/>strategy which reflect the Peer & Lived Experience workforce needs of the partnership.
