7. Session 1: Potential Barriers
Overview
Some example problems
Group work (table by table):
Collation of perceived problems, hindrances (noting the source – researcher, policy maker, manager etc.)
Prioritise top 5
Outputs:
Long list of perceived problems and source
Indicative priorities

8. Session 2: Possible Solutions
Overview & examples of good practice
Group work (table by table) (twice):
Prioritised problems – 1 per table; 6 tables
Group work by table  solutions
Group work  prioritise possible solutions
Outputs:
Long list of possible solutions
Prioritised actions for top 6
Think in terms of immediate, short term (<3 yrs), longer term

9. Participate! - In person or Online?
More effective participating in person
