- develop a co-ordinated public engagement framework which is sufficiently flexible to recognize a range of engagement activity (professional & volunteer, national & local) and creates the conditions for increased participation and debate
- achieve greater acknowledgement of the importance of public engagement activity supported by increased training and recognition in all sectors
- ensure public perspectives are sought, recognized and responded to by the scientific and policy communities
