6. 2013 Follow Up Aspects
Process developed to assess progress and close out 2009 action plan – large team, thin spread
Submitted as Advanced Reference Material
Same process for policy observations
Same process for 2009 self assessment findings
Independent audit and international peer review
From 2009, around 4 staff years of effort – significant benefit

7. 2013 IRRS resources In addition to follow up post 2009…
3 staff years of technical effort staff years admin
Including significant self assessment activity
Around €100k of ‘real’ money

8. 2013 IRRS specifics – Preparations
No issues with guidance
No issues with Prep Meeting, as engaged well prior

9. 2013 IRRS specifics – modular teams
Mission team leader continuity
Wasted effort covering old ground
Scope, specifically ONR responsibilities
Status of guides, UK way of working
Perhaps need for pre-briefing as well as Preparatory Meeting

10. 2013 IRRS specifics – Self Assessment
Great benefit from Self Assessment
Need to secure suitable resources and timescales
SARIS tool not useful for UK (parallel answering)
Retro fitting to SARIS for reporting
Little acknowledgement in report of follow up aspects

11. 2013 IRRS specifics – ARM
Advanced Reference Material easily uploaded to Sharepoint
Great benefit in terms of knowledge repository
Perception of lack of use prior to Mission (need for Pre-briefing?)

12. 2013 IRRS specifics – Mission itself
Findings mostly of great benefit
Some already achieved
Some of surprise to owners outside ONR
Useful pragmatic closure of previous findings (only 1 remained open)

13. 2013 IRRS specifics – Way Forward
Action plan approved
Would like to give positive messages (now stale?)
Ready for and committed to another follow up

14. UK Summary
Achieved
Transparent, independent, in depth, third party review
Could improve
Effectiveness of engagement prior to Mission
Greater focus on self assessment
