  25. Good Practice - summary • PURPOSE (Focus on actions to deliver plan) • SCOPE (Statutory requirements + additional info) • PROCESS (link to corporate processes – LAs and stakeholders) • PRODUCT (Different styles, concise, spatial, clear leads) Focus on the process of action programming (not just publication of a document) DISCUSS!
