This session is a fundamental part of this process and is an opportunity for IDEA members to feed into this work. This session will be facilitated by an external evaluator who will collate members’ feedback on IDEA’s years, current programme, and encourage a focus on key areas for the next 5 years programme current programme and also encourage a focus on key areas for the next programme.
