Creating genuinely inclusive engagement with external actors
To model inclusive practice in how the team reaches out and collaborates. When planning engagement with external actors, consider who is being included and who might be left out. Whose voices are typically heard? Whose are typically absent? What barriers might prevent certain groups… An ongoing team scaffold (engagement practice), run for external engagement, not as a one-off session.
