The Forums need a clearly defined role and terms of a reference/partnership agreement as a starting point. They should review their progress against this annually, and possibly produce an annual report.

| The national SPF conducts its own annual review. Regional forums may find the process and outcomes from the IPA review 2008 and the smaller ACAS stocktake 2009 helpful when designing their own reviews. |
