– Strengths & weaknesses– Assess local priorities

2.Education of key partners– What is the CSSN and what will it achieve?– Clarify roles and responsibilities– Create buy-in & ownership

3.Establishment of an effective mechanism– That allows the identification of coaching need across local area– linked up to identified National need from NGBs.
