This is an iterative Resource which will continue to be developed and improved through a series of workshops. It is based on our on-going work, and the analysis is ours.

For this reason we have used the first person to introduce the materials to you. We invite all stakeholders to share suggestions for adaptations and or extensions based on their experiences of using the tool and resources and to showcase examples of own good practice.

Please submit suggested amendments and models of good practice to Linda Bartolomei at linda.bartolomei@unsw.edu.au.
