Consultations
We regularly respond to consultations from the Senedd both in the submission of written material but also giving oral evidence to various committees.
We also respond to consultations from other organisations, such as the Welsh Government. Here you'll find recent written responses.
We're also keen to hear views on new consultations as they are received. We've listed 'open' consultations also.
