• There is a range of opinion as to how a Charter should be developed and monitored
• There are many questions to be addressed and probably many more still to be raised
• This event will be an opportunity to hear in-depth about the plans and to feed in your thoughts and your hopes for the Charter

Topics to be discussed include:
• The good employment practices to be featured in the Charter
• Levers and incentives for changing business practice and raising employment standards
• How employers should be engaged and supported to join the Charter
• What resourcing, promotion and monitoring the Charter will require
