It is not about “justifying” what we are doing

  • Not about using the wellbeing goals or

sustainable development principles to justify what we are already doing

  • Need to use goals and principles as a driver for

change

Feedback on the WAO process – the not so positive

  • WAO came in very early on (pre Royal Assent or

this to predict future prospects – Under values new and emerging work

  • Need to find ways to identify where the Act has

genuinely made a difference to decision making
