Part 4: Memorialising the Troubles Section 55: The advisory forum
This section makes provision for an advisory form to oversee and make recommendations to the designated persons when carrying out the Troubles-related work programme. Subsection (1) and (2) require the designated persons to use best endeavours to establish an advisory forum, having regard to the following:
the need to ensure that the membership of the advisory forum includes persons who represent the views of victims and survivors of events and conduct forming part of the Troubles;
the need to ensure that the membership of the advisory forum is balanced as respects those members who are associated with the different communities in Northern Ireland.
	Subsection (3) states that the duties imposed on designated persons by subsections (1) and (2) do not apply if a suitable advisory forum is already established before the day specified in regulations made by the Secretary of State for the purposes of commencing the Troubles-related work programme.
	Subsection (4) requires that any arrangements establishing the advisory forum, including the details of its membership, are published by the designated persons as soon as possible.
