INSTRUCTIONS

You will carry out your research plan in order to submit a high quality professional report to the board. Your research plan identified 3 issues to conduct more detailed research on. Use the feedback you received to inform your next steps. You might find, upon conducting deeper research on one of the issues, that the available information is insufficient. You can then go back to the additional issues your team identified and preliminarily researched and select one of them instead.

For each of the 3 issues you need to address:

- What it is

- What is causing it/ What its ramifications are (with evidence)

- What can be done to rectify it (include evidence for your chosen strategy if possible)

You may also identify other areas to include so as to offer a more comprehensive report. Your report has a word limit of 1000 words +/-10%, however, you are able to include an appendix, and can reference its inclusions in your report.
