Defining best practice is not an attempt to standardise the development of policy and practice; approaches need to be tailored to fit local needs and circumstances. We do believe however that all best practice shares some common features. It is these features that we have tried to identify.

· Delivers effective, identifiable outcomes, meeting identified needs or filling gaps in provision · Makes good use of scarce resources such as finance, property, skills · Reflects local circumstances and conditions · Self evaluates, considers and learns from previous examples and experience · Is flexible and can adapt to changing needs and circumstances · Is creative in its approach to problem solving · Provides transferable models/blueprints for others to follow, without over-reliance on exceptional individuals · Shows long term sustainability and viability · Demonstrates cross sector and partnership working · Is inclusive and consultative |
