Select the areas for action

Developing an Action Plan requires making choices. Members of the Working Group may have different perspectives when it comes to setting priorities for action. A collaborative approach is essential.

To help determine the priority areas for action, your Working Group should use your AEDI results, along with other information gathered from data, evidence and community consultation (such as demographics, assets and needs).   

Looking at this information together will help your Group to see where there are gaps.  Developing an Action Plan is one step your group can take to help close the gaps, to better support your community's children and their families.
