The Strategic Advisory Council will meet annually to provide an opportunity to reflect on progress within the project. The Council will select its own moderator for the purposes of each meeting. Members of the Council will be given any document or deliverables submitted during the current period together with any further documentation that they choose to request from individual programmes, actions or projects. If possible, the meetings will be held shortly before a Steering Committee meeting to ensure that any issues highlighted by the Strategic Advisory Council can be rapidly acted on by the Steering Committee.
