VCS Assembly consultation (25 July - 25 October)

Consultation on proposals for a new VCS Assembly (to be launched in the autumn) took place between 25 July and 25 October 2011.
The proposed aim of the new VCS Assembly is to ensure that the voluntary and community sector (VCS) has strong voice and influence and clear and structured ways for consultation and representing VCS views. The results from the consultation are currently being evaluated.

The consultation included:

• An online blog where draft proposals for the VCS Assembly will be published and comments and questions can be posted
• Drop in VCS Assembly information sessions
• One to one meetings with VCS groups (to engage smaller and equalities groups)
• Black and Minority Ethnic 'voice and influence' steering group
• A meeting of current VCS reps
• Meetings of the VCS Assembly Steering group who have helped contribute to the draft VCS Assembly proposals
