Final Stages
Presentation of Findings
As the assignment progresses towards completion a formal briefing is generally arranged to enable SUMS to present their findings to the member representative and the Head of division. At this presentation, there are opportunities for questions and discussions, which may prompt the need for further enquiries.
At this stage members may wish to arrange for a presentation of the findings to be made to other senior staff (and staff more generally).
After the presentation, a draft report is prepared and then reviewed by the Head of division for factual accuracy. The report is then presented to the Member Representative for finalisation.
Upon completion of a report a member will be asked how many copies of the final report they require and for permission to release the report to other members on request.
Quality Assurance
On completion of an assignment, an "Assignment Review Questionnaire" is sent to the member representative with a request that the assignment is reviewed with the Head of division and the outcomes fed back to SUMS. This assessment is part of the SUMS quality monitoring arrangement and is an input to SUMS staff performance management.
