Exec Summary / Conclusion – Tanjinna, Elizabeth & Kasim

Following last week, we as a group have kept in contact regarding collection of background research. Post meeting the essay is becoming more specific with me directly focused on the strengths, weaknesses and analysis of the sure start policy, with a late arrival to the group, Tanjinna Miah has been assigned her role which will consist of the majority of the background research in the next two weeks in to the policy of sure start plus with her regularly contacting other members of the group of key research found. Finally, Elizabeth has been developing her segment of the essay so by next week we will be giving each other first drafts of our paragraphs to see how they link together to form one coherent report. We have decided as a group to write the bulk of this essay and in the final two/three weeks come together and form the introduction and conclusion.

Meeting Date: Tuesday 6th March , Present - Kasim Shah , Elizabeth Owusu-Darko

Planned Kasim's paragraph in further detail by answering any questions about what to include and decided to split the cost benefit analysis into viability and usefulness addressing key areas of overworking of personal advisers and lack of ethnic minorities involved in the program.

My paragraph was linked successfully into his and adding clearer detail about the role of the personal adviser and why they are able to address the issue of teenage pregnancy. We planned to summarise the cost benefit analysis in the conc and give a clear answer to the question.

A deadline was set for midday 9th March for everyone's final draft ( received from Kasim) so that over the weekend Elizabeth will work on smoothing out the different voice narratives into coherent report.

The Exec summary will be outlined after with a full report being sent to all members to iron/fine tune the report this will be done until all members are satisfied and the report submitted
