This will be accomplished by developing a community of Practice, conducting a literature review of peer work, carrying out an environmental scan, setting up focus groups, interviews; performing data analysis, hosting a Peer Forum event , developing an equitable peer employment framework, and providing a Roadmap for employers to help them change harmful policies.
