How did people initially get involved with the Dialogue Process?
Rather than recruiting large numbers of participants, which makes in-depth consultation very difficult, the Dialogue Process has tried to ensure that all identifiable interest groups (formal and informal) are represented within a manageably-sized group. The Dialogue Process now has a membership of 280 individuals and organisations. However, it is clear that some social groups remain under-represented, despite efforts to attract them into the process. These include ethnic minorities, disabled, parents with young children and youth. We are working hard to bring representatives from these groups on board.
