THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO TOOK THE TIME TO COMPLETE THE CAP REVIEW COMMUNTY SURVEY.
On behalf of the Steering Group, many thanks to everyone who took the time to complete the Community Survey, who participated in the many Stakeholder Group meetings which took place, and who engaged on our social media channels.

Now the hard work begins! In the background, our team have started pulling together and analysing the results.  A draft report will be published over the summer. Don't ask us to commit to an exact timescale - it's a lot of work and will take as long as is needed to collate - but be sure that we will be excited to share it with you as soon as we can.  If you have any queries about this, you can email us on cap@brdt.org.uk

Finally, we would like to thank the members of the Steering Group for their support of the review and the review process.
