'see me' Action Planning Tool
Purpose
The ‘see me’ Action Planning Tool builds on the “getting started section”. Here you’re supported to develop your plans further. This tool provides prompts to support you to further clarify: your aims and objectives, your target group or groups and planned actions. You are supported to identify current local opportunities and develop strategies for overcoming challenges. A timetable for action helps you to be realistic but also increases the likelihood of you achieving your goals.
