05 October 2009 Gloucestershire BAP ReviewOur LBAP is currently under review and it is the aim of the Partnership to have a fully updated version available online by the end of 2010. The current plan was produced in 2000 and a review is necessary following the completion of the UK BAP review in 2007. This will ensure that we are reflecting new national and regional priorities. In addition, we also need to produce SMART targets and actions that can be reported on effectively.
The revised edition will be an online document and so will be the final time the LBAP will need to undergo a full revision. With online action plans, the intention is that individual HAP's and SAP's can be expanded and contracted or archived as priorities change. This will ensure that the revised edition remains an up to date, developing, working document over the coming years.
The revised edition will be produced as a partnership document, with input and decision making the remit of a wide range of partners. To achieve this it is necessary to form temporary working groups of committed individuals for the revised edition to be a success, this approach will encourage greater engagement with the final plans.
