The case studies cover the purpose (what is the legislation and context for the framework); process (how was the framework developed); output (what information is captured by the framework and how); and outcome (what can be learned from the development process and operation of the framework), and provide a summary of each framework’s effectiveness – its strengths and weaknesses.
