Our Approach

We start by understanding what is happening and examining the evidence behind it. This helps distinguish the immediate issue from the processes, decisions or conditions that may be contributing to it.

Our approach follows five practical steps:

Understand the issue
Establish what is happening and where support is needed.

Examine the evidence
Review the relevant evidence, processes and existing arrangements.

Identify what needs to change
Focus on the causes of the problem, not simply its symptoms.

Put improvements in place
Agree practical actions that can be implemented and sustained.

Review the outcome
Check that the changes have addressed the issue and are working as intended.
