See what’s new, what’s been removed, and what you need to focus on.

• Leader Action Checklist. Strategic planning tool to help you think through the changes systematically. This isn’t about auditing your current provision – it’s about understanding what needs to happen next, who needs to know, and what strategic plans to put in place.
