Draft Diversity Plan
This consultation seeks views on a draft
action plan that aims, over a 10 year period, to increase the number of people
from under-represented groups making use of the outdoor recreational
opportunities that exist in both rural and urban settings. A recent review
showed that when people from such groups experienced outdoor and green space
activities, they were keen to return. The draft plan proposes new ways of
working, both with the organisations providing outdoor recreation
opportunities, and with the under-represented groups, so that the objective of
increasing participation can be achieved.
The full consultation document is available
at: http://www.defra.gov.uk/corporate/consult/outdoorsdiversity/index.htm.
The deadline for response is 30 September. To
