Overview

The previous nine themes should give you a robust starting point for strategic management of your information and advice service. This theme considers how to draw this together into a formal information and advice strategy which will give your council and elected members a clear picture of what I&A is there to achieve and how you are going about it.

A useful starting point for a strategy might be the Making it Real ‘We’ statements and the Care Act definition of wellbeing. The strategy should also consider the other themes in this toolkit, and should set your local priorities and resourcing for information and advice.
