Discussion paper to Disability Working Group, Core Group Meeting, 28 November 2005
REPORTING ARRANGEMENTS
1. Introduction
At its meeting on 28 November it is anticipated the core group will:
a) Identify overlaps, identify gaps
b) Agree the recommendations to go forward
c) Agree broadly how they should be presented.
This paper covers the last of these.
2. Options for presentation
The core group needs to consider the following 3 questions:
- Should the outcomes be presented in a written report?
If so, broadly how might it be structured? For example, it may make sense to have sections on each satellite group area/ set of areas, with maybe another 'cross-cutting' section for recommendations which are relevant to all. And examples might be useful to illustrate what some of the recommendations might mean in practice.
If it is decided that some sort of report should be drafted to pull everything together, would this need to be 'signed-off' by core-group members? This might be done by e-mail, or it may be necessary to schedule another meeting.
- Should the recommendations/ report be launched at an event?
If so, what shape should this event take? And what is the target audience for both the report and the event?
- How should progress be monitored?
And how will progress be monitored in future? This might be where the 'mechanism for engagement with disability organisations' fits in.
