Key Findings

Branches were positive about the support provided and identified with the regional Development Mangers and National Opportunities Staff as the key contacts, however;

• Need to continually improve communication

especially regarding High Performance Role Models

• Need to continually improve dissemination of

information as too many ‘don’t knows’

Share Good Practice

• Case Studies – rotation
• f groups
• Use topic to drive

discussion on challenges &

• pportunities facing

branches.
