PRACTICAL WORKSHEET

Communication Task reference plan

Plan Communication Task practice around the audience, format and issues to explain.

SELF-MANAGED RECORD

Use the worksheet for your own planning and reflection. For a formal submission, use the current ICE or IStructE form. Completing a worksheet does not certify competence.

What to record

01

Format structures

The shape of a briefing note, a letter, an article, a blog, a student note, a school piece.

02

Facts I am confident of

Only things you would be comfortable being questioned on.

03

Theme prompts

The competing considerations in each theme: cost, carbon, disruption, equity, resilience.

04

Presidential themes

The two most recent, from ICE.

05

My planning routine

Read, choose, identify the audience, plan headings, write, check.

Use it well

  • Two sides of A4 maximum, optional, hard copy or a Word document, in the font size you use at work.
  • You may not copy and paste from it: it is for reference only. Pre-written paragraphs are wasted space.
