Policy Quality Framework – a guide on panels and processes for assessing policy advice papers

This guide contains advice on how to run a panel-based assessment of policy and other advice papers after their delivery (an ex-post assessment process) using the Policy Quality Framework. It also explains how to score advice papers using the Policy Quality Framework's paper-scoring template. The template sets out the Policy Quality Framework's standards in a format that helps in assessing the quality of an agency's written advice, and whether it is fit for purpose.
