A WORKED EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO

A review meeting needs preparation and follow-through

A family books a learning review with a teacher and specialist. A calendar slot alone does not ensure the right people or relevant information are ready.

The decision and its context

Confirm participants, availability, purpose and the information suitable for sharing. Record agreed actions after the meeting without placing confidential specialist notes into a broadly visible appointment record.

What a complete outcome looks like

Each action should have an owner and review date. Rescheduling should preserve the purpose and notify the appropriate participants.

FOLLOW THE HANDOVERSpecial Education & IEPsWhere a meeting reviews an individual plan, agreed changes belong in the controlled plan record.

A CAPABILITY, NOT AN ISLAND

Connect meetings & appointments with the next workflow.

The same institutional context should support the next responsible team’s action. Explore the connected capabilities.

YOUR INSTITUTION’S RULES

WHEN THE DAY DOESN’T FOLLOW THE DEFAULT

A participant needs to reschedule

Release the previous slot and confirm the replacement so neither party relies on an obsolete time.

A clear exception keeps the reason, owner, and next decision visible.

How connected workflows work

APPROPRIATE CONTROL

Who can act on meetings & appointments?

Meeting notes may be more sensitive than the appointment itself; separate scheduling visibility from access to the discussion record.

BEFORE THE CONVERSATION

Useful questions about meetings & appointments.

Can appointment notes be private?

Scheduling and discussion notes can have different visibility, especially for pastoral, HR, or student-support meetings.

How are people prepared for a new workflow?

Use role-based practice with realistic tasks, accessible instructions, and a named support route. Confirm who owns changes to relationships, responsibilities, and permissions.
