<<Previous in series: What influences how policy practice is enacted? (Part 2)
This is the fifth video in a series providing an understanding of local level policy practice and its development.
I hope that you find it provides a helpful way of thinking about the distal influences on policy practice performance.
I look forward to our discussions.
References and further reading
The video itself is reference free, but I would like to acknowledge that I have used ideas from the following sources as well as my own research. I would recommend the texts as further reading too.
The framework of practice performance that I developed is predominantly based on the Theory of Practice architectures. It was first articulated in 2008 and has evolved since. Key sources (in chronological order) are:
