Guide developed by the Joint Improvement Team to support the continued implementation of the Talking Points: Personal Outcomes Approach.

The guide draws together evidence from research and practice and presents an overview of the key messages and learning from that work.

The ASCOF for 2013/14 will support councils to rise to the challenge of delivering key White Paper priorities by providing a clear focus for local priority setting and improvement, and by strengthening the accountability of councils to local people.
