Joint Working Activities/Meetings

These may be informal arrangements between a number of Forums, who agree to work together on a specific project or activity.  This will normally form part of the work plan of the Forums concerned.   The aim would be to undertake some activity and to then produce a report with recommendations, which would normally be considered by the respective Forums who will then take action as appropriate.
