<p>DCMS endeavour to ensure that a diverse field of candidates apply to Public Appointments
campaigns in order to meet the requirements of the Public Sector Equality Duty. As
a result, Ministers are presented with a choice of appointable candidates whose skills,
experience and qualities meet the needs of the required roles</p><p><br> The NCS Trust
board member roles were advertised on the Cabinet Office Public Appointments website,
the NCS Trust website and other channels and networks used for DCMS appointments,
as well as on social media. Given the need to fill multiple Board positions, and the
importance of attracting a diverse pool of applicants, we worked closely with the
NCS Trust to identify a variety of other channels specific to the requirements of
these roles and to endeavour to attract a diverse field of candidates</p><p><br> In
addition, NCS Trust has an extensive national youth board network, via which the views
of young people across the country are heard at all levels across the NCS Trust. Representatives
from the youth board regularly attend the full Board meetings.</p>
