Review guidelines

Reviewer guidelines for annual and final reports

Note (May 20th, 2010): Defra are currently reviewing their approach to M&E and it is likely that the templates and guidance will be amended when this review is complete. To avoid confusion, the templates and guidance has not been updated this year so the versions available below are the correct ones.

There are 3 documents you should read before beginning on your review:

1. The Guidance Notes for LTS Reviewers - which explains the administrative requirements.
2. The Annual or Final report review template with notes - which sets out the format for the review and includes guidance on what is required under each heading.
3. The Annual or Final report review skeleton - which is the basic format that you can use for completing your review.
