Deciding on strategies
1. First, pool your collective professional knowledge and experience by discussing and defining approaches
that you know have been successful in other settings or at different times. Make notes in the space below.
2. Then, think about where else you might go, or who you might ask, to find out about other successful
strategies. This may lead to a short research task, but can lead to other possible strategies for your list.
3. Use the pointers, leads and thinking points on the following pages (p 31–41). Most of these are meant to
be suggestions for further investigation rather than fully filled-out strategies. We hope they give you some
useful starting points.
4. You may want to look at the case studies on the What Works website. There are over 50 of them organised
according to a set of headings that you might find useful. They illustrate examples of good practice, and
suggest approaches that might be useful.

5. Now discuss and decide on appropriate strategies. Write the strategies in your plan on p 44–49.
