The purpose of the  High Level Community Sector Forum is consultative in nature.  It allows for discussion between the relevant public service management and trade union side interests on matters of  concern in relation to the Community Sector. Following the most recent meeting of the Forum it was agreed that further  consultative provisions agreed under the auspices of the then Labour Relations Commission in 2015 would be incorporated into the objectives of the Forum.  The details will be available in the minutes of the Forum to be published on my Department's website once formally approved by the parties concerned.
