Setting Priorities

Clearly define problems that need to be addressed based upon the findings of the audit

Prioritise problems and select a small number (5-7) of objectives

Consider relationship between the partnership's priorities and priorities of individual agencies with a view to incorporating partnership's objectives in to individual agencies service plans

Decide who will draft strategies for meeting each of the objectives

Developing the strategy

Develop a clear understanding of the problem to be tackled through analysis of its key elements, underlying causes and associated risk factors

Conduct secondary analysis on specific problems to add detail to audit findings if needed

Consider all possible ways of tackling the problem

Select a range of interventions based on what is most promising, what can realistically be implemented, what is cost effective and what can be supported by research from elsewhere

Prepare draft strategic plan

Writing the strategy

Submit draft report to partnership. Re-draft as requested.

Send copy of strategic plan to the Scottish Executive Crime Prevention Unit
