Preparing a forward plan helps HERs, large or small, to take stock, to understand the needs of their service and visualise plans for the future. It is an opportunity to discuss plans with management and gain approval from local councillors or governing bodies. This is particularly important now that there is increasing pressure from government for HERs to change and develop their research, education and outreach functions. The forward plan may need to integrate with wider serviced and strategic plans within the local authority, especially if it is to be distributed to councillors or senior management.

In Wales the four HERs are owned and managed by the Welsh Archaeological Trusts (WATs). The WATs are independent charitable trusts, part funded by the Welsh Government to provide regional archaeological services. Some additional financial support is provided by a number of the local authorities. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW) provides task specific grant aid for maintaining and enhancing the records, while funding to support public enquiries is provided by Cadw. Cadw and RCAHMW monitor the provision of archaeological services on behalf of the Welsh Government. The HER Benchmarks ([Chitty 2002|Bibliography#Chitty 2002|target='_blank']) have been adapted for use in Wales.

There is no equivalent process in Scotland or Wales although Scotland’s Historic Environment Audit is currently in progress. This will identify issues relevant to the health of the historic environment and the impact of resources used to manage and protect it. It is intended that the resulting document will be used to inform policy for Local Authorities as well as Historic Scotland, see [http://www.heritageaudit.org.uk/|http://www.heritageaudit.org.uk/] for details.
In Wales an audit process has been agreed with The Royal Commission on Ancient and Historic Monuments in Wales and Cadw, and audits are carried out on a five year cycle.
