level of activities and give our members new opportunltles.
We have updated the Group Leaders H3ndbook in January 2026 to include both equality and
inclusion inforniation.
Our policles and procedures are regularly reviewed to ensure that they comply with statutory
requirements and commonly accepted standards.
