A good idea is not yet a responsible programme. These minimum conditions help decide whether an idea is ready to move forward.
The issue and intended participants are understood through appropriate consultation and existing work has been considered.
Relevant expertise, responsibilities, permissions and resources are in place for the proposed scope.
Safeguarding, privacy, inclusion, escalation and foreseeable risks have been reviewed before recruitment or delivery.
The activity has clear objectives, proportionate indicators, feedback routes and an honest reporting commitment.
A repeatable discipline
Each future programme will have its own context, but the operating discipline should remain recognisable.
How we will measureUnderstand the people, place and existing work before proposing a solution.
Define a useful, achievable response with communities and relevant practitioners.
Start small, work safely and document delivery with care.
Review evidence, acknowledge limitations and publish what should happen next.
Useful work begins with people who understand the context. Tell us about a community priority, existing effort or expertise that should inform our thinking.
