<p>Engagement with stakeholders has been a vital part of developing the Kickstart
Scheme. Throughout the rapid policy development phase, we have engaged with over 300
individual stakeholders and/or stakeholder organisations. This includes employers
and business representative organisations, local and regional representatives, devolved
administrations, and third sector organisations. Following the launch, we will continue
to engage with organisations and reach out to those not yet consulted, such as the
Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, in order to encourage a wide range
of delivery partners to support the scheme and make it a success.</p>
