Common 'sticky areas' include: understanding and entering data into SETS, strategic and effective action planning, developing simple systems for recording changes and outcomes (for example in section B: Learning and Teacing or C: Whole School Engagement).

Includes:

• pre-visit consultation, if required, to help identify which areas need to be addressed
