SDAP Tracker

This Tracker highlights those Departments and Agencies without a current SDAP, and those which have not reported progress in the last 12 months. Essentially this is a live guide to the SDAP process and the SDAP Tracker will be updated regularly to document when new SDAPs and progress reports are published.

Organisations with an SDAP which covers a period of more than 1 year are also required to provide written confirmation annually on their website to explain that they have actively reviewed their SDAP and it is fit for purpose. This page also tracks whether this has been done. The SDC sets no formal deadlines; Departments and Agencies are responsible for producing SDAPs and progress reports within timescales that suit them.

The Tracker provides links to the SDC's SDAP assessment along with each Department's summary of their self-assessment of progress. The SDC’s latest SDAP assessments will be published through the Tracker from December 2008; this is the beginning of a rolling programme of assessments based on the following assessment methodology:
