5. Feedback from APCC September forums and progress to date Key issues: Consistency of approach/better questioning – ongoing focus for Permissions managers Comms (prior to allocation) – de-prioritised due to resourcing issues but there is renewed focus on this More sector specific guidance/better web layout – work is ongoing on this Early doors meetings – now taking place more regularly Better engagement during case life – case officers being encouraged to engage in a variety of methods and training being delivered Managing expectations better (i.e. when a case is complete/incomplete) – considerable work done on this with case officers to ensure consistency of approach (feedback would be helpful!) 5
