The experience of others can be most useful - it saves us all beating a new path when one has already been created. 

These were some thoughts from Communities(http://www.communities.idea.gov.uk)

There is a huge amount of information on this site and the facilitators are very helpful.. It is a great resource if you are a student, and people share freely. It helps to keep you up to date with current policy and practice. I have received permission to share this - so enjoy!
