Lisa,

great to see you adding material to the page. Well done.

Can you make sure you reference everythign that you add and especially quotes need precise references.

Have a look here if you need help with how to do referencing.SpinProfiles:A Guide to Referencing

Feedback

Lisa,

here is some feedback on your project so far and a list of things you can do to progress the work.

1. You should add an introductroy para saying what RICU is and when it was founded and what it is for and what ist is part of (which division in the Home Office) and which depts it reports to
2. Next you need a para graph with a heading which should outline in fuller detail how many staff there are and what they do and what the budget is etc.
3. You should expand the section on language and explain what they are saying and why
4. You should add material about what they do (eg from the job ads available online)
5. I have listed a number of resources on RICU here: http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/RICU#Resources - Can you use these and others to expand the page?
6. I note that there are a number of powerpoint and pdf persentations by RICU staff online. You could and should use these to outline their strategy. Perhaps you could create jpg files from some of the sliedes that are particularly visual and post them onthe page? Ask me if you need help with that.
7. You probably need to write a full acocunt of the saga of the alleged attempts by RICU to influence the BBC and other media.
8. You could add basic pages on each of the staff members?
9. You probably also need to add a basice3 page or two on the Office for Security and counter-Terrorism and on the Prevent Strategy which RICU is a key part of.

Let me know if you have any queries.
