The issue of representation

One of the most common questions the PB Unit is asked at conferences, seminars, and training events is about representation. There are two main issues that are commonly raised: how important is it that different groups are fairly represented and how do you go about ensuring fair representation and how do you manage the potential of particular individuals or groups 'hijacking' an event by getting all their supporters to vote for their project? This page aims to address some of those issues and help organisers think through the risks around representation.

The quiet before the storm? - By Jez Hall

Maybe it’s the time of year, or the fact I’ve been involved with thinking about PB for 10 years now, but I’ve been in reflective mood recently.
