· Placing an emphasis on ability, rather than prior experience, ensuring key roles in public bodies are open to those with skills required
· Increasing awareness of public appointments through a central online advertising website, events and social media
· Simplifying the application process to just require a CV and cover letter
· Assessing every job advert to ensure they are fit for purpose and are open to a wider number of applicants to ensure a diverse pool of candidates.
In 2013 the Government published its strategy for Increasing Diversity in Public Appointments. The Cabinet Office will be publishing an update to this strategy later this year.

Annex B: Terms of Reference
ADVISORY GROUP TO GOVERNMENT:
CREATING A CULTURE OF SOCIAL IMPACT INVESTMENT AND SAVINGS
ENHANCING INDIVIDUAL CHOICE
Summary:
How can the savings, pensions and investment industries, with the support of government, engage with individual investors to enable them to support more easily the things they care about through their savings and investment choices?
Detail:
The advisory group has been formed at the request of the Minister for Civil Society and the Economic Secretary to the Treasury.
It has been created to discuss how the savings, pensions and investment industries, with the support of government, can engage with individual investors to enable them to support more easily the things they care about through their savings and investment choices, whether through retail options or in collective schemes.
The aims of the advisory group are to:
1. Explore barriers to the development of products with social impact components
2. Explore barriers to the demand for and distribution of such products
3. Consider who is best placed to identify and implement solutions
4. Consider how existing best practice, regulatory incentives and further measures can reduce or remove barriers
5. Develop ideas for how best to explain social impact savings and investment choices to individuals and to provide feedback on impact to any fiduciaries and advisors involved
6. Discuss timescales for solutions, including possible next steps for any longer-term work to be taken forward beyond the advisory group.
Elizabeth Corley, Vice Chair of Allianz Global Investors (and previously CEO) has been asked to Chair the group. The group has been asked to make an initial report to the Minister for Civil Society and the Economic Secretary to the Treasury in Summer 2017.
Conclusions and recommendations are those of the group, but may not represent any individual member’s view. Any decisions on government policy rest with the ministers of the day.
