7. The framework is built upon an evidence-based assessment of the economic needs of a defined economic geography. This assesses and prioritises actions to drive economic growth by examining constraints and opportunities of sectors, businesses, communities, places and individuals (stages 1-2). This enables a vision for economic growth and outcomes to be defined, recognising the specific ambitions and requirements of that economic area, be it local, regional or national (stage 3). The framework seeks to prioritise actions for inclusive growth (stage 4) by combining deliverability criteria against economic impact (where economic impact is measured through criteria of productivity/growth, inclusion and sustainability). This approach is then used to stimulate thinking and discussion around effective alignment between national, regional and local priorities and policies and to inform consideration of most appropriate delivery structures (stage 5). Setting up appropriate monitoring and evaluation of outcomes and ensuring sharing of robust data and intelligence is essential to assessing progress (stage 6).

8. This outcome focuses on the experiences and outcomes of those who are seeking work or are outside the labour market and overcoming barriers ( e.g. training and skills, transport, childcare, recruitment, and employment practices).

9. This outcome focuses on conditions when in employment: the types of jobs there are, and how employers treat employees. Also including progression and in-work training.
