Now test your ideas against:
- Your boundaries as defined earlier
- Likely effectiveness of the option
- Any research, knowledge or evidence base for efficacy of approaches
- The experience or example of those who have 'been there before'
- Resource implications

Hot tip: Some approaches are more effective than others in the long-term. In particular:
- It is usually more effective to direct attention and resource devoted to promoting the positive activity that you want to see, than to devote it trying to eradicate what you don't want
- Supporting and empowering individuals within the situation is often more effective than 'top-down' impositions or restrictions
