Consultations to Government
The REC External Relations team responds to all Government and EU consultations on employment and labour market policy. Official responses are based on the feedback from members and on the recommendations of the REC Employment Policy Committee and the REC Diversity Forum (for all policy consultations linked to equal opportunities and discrimination). The REC Board formally agrees policy positions. Regional and Sector Group meetings are also used to generate member input and to inform the final response.
