We Analyse Critically

Question 1

Overview

Answer 1

• We analyse information, data, viewpoints and combine the best available evidence to understand the root causes of issues that arise in complex situations.
• We draw on our experience, knowledge and wide sources of evidence to give us a greater view of what is happening underneath the surface. We combine insight and evidence-based approaches to help make decisions, accepting that we will not have all the answers but will always try to gather facts and robust information to be able to think tactically and strategically

• I recognise patterns, themes and connections between several and diverse sources of information and best available evidence.
