Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
So far it has been well organised, the information on what we are doing when has been communicated well, and we have a clear plan for the 4 years.
The only section lacking organisation is when we have meetings scheduled in Oxford, as they are late notice and not emailed to us.
