Good Practice
There’s so much good work happening out there ...
... but finding out about it can be hard.
In an ideal world every time someone has a good idea, or tries a new approach everyone else would find out about it. In reality that simply doesn’t happen – but that won’t stop us trying!
We have set up professional networks to help people share good practice and to give them the opportunity to sound ideas out – Walk21 is the biggest of these linking professionals across the world and running annual international conferences to share good practice.
We work with established groups of professionals and help them learn from each other – as with the Institute of Rights of Way Officers Good Practice Guide.
We also work for individual authorities or groups finding examples of good practice to help them improve their work. Recent examples have included research into:
- We wrote the Greenways manual of best practice.
- Waymarking, finding examples of ways to improve how paths are signed and waymarked to comply with the DDA and to improve legibility.
- How best to communicate accessibility information through printed and web based media.
- Walking maps – how best to present walkers with information to help them navigate.
- Rights of way improvement plans – we identified good examples of content, layout and design from published plans.
We know a lot of people and we have a great network of contacts across the world. We bring all that knowledge with us wherever we go, whatever we’re looking at, and share it with you.
