External Advisory Board
The External Advisory Board is a steering group which offers expert advice and oversight for the Programme. The board is made up predominately of independent members, with representatives from the voluntary sector and from families affected by transition. The External Advisory Board does not have responsibility for the Programme (this rests with the investigators) however it offers advice and independent challenge to the Programme.
