Collation of ideas for sharing with DHHS

Where the COP members wish to collaborate and collate information to provide input to the DHHS:

  • A COP member is nominated as the ‘facilitator’ of a discussion
  • A discussion forum question will be used to pose the issue and gather feedback, examples, evidence, and expectations/needs
  • Within a defined timeframe, the discussion facilitator will collate input from COP members
  • The discussion facilitator will submit the feedback to DHHS via the CoP-DHHS Communication Form

The DHHS will provide a response:

  • Directly to the discussion facilitator
  • Within the discussion forum

Requests for input from the DHHS

Equally the DHHS may request feedback or input from the COP members

  • DHHS will start a discussion forum question to request feedback on an item/topic, and set a timeframe
  • COP members will provide input
  • DHHS will provide a final summary, or version of a document etc.
