14. Taking the DCF forward From Sept 2016 schools and settings should be: familiarising themselves with the DCF and develop a vision for translating it into practice, before... reviewing skills needs (an audit tool will be made available) reviewing resource needs (to avoid knee-jerk technology purchases) using the New Deal practitioner development offer to develop teachers/practitioners from 2017 beginning to implement the DCF as understanding and confidence grows.
