Take a tour
A guided walk through the parts of the CfWI HS Hub, from the first questions a horizon scan asks to the scenarios that come out of the work.
What this tour covers
The hub is built around a simple sequence. Evidence about emerging developments is gathered and checked, the implications are discussed, and the results are shared in forms that others can test and use. This tour follows that sequence so that you can see where each part of the site fits.
You do not need to read every section in order. Each part of the tour stands on its own, and the links at the end of each section take you to the pages where the detail is kept.
Stops on the tour
The main stops are listed below in the order a new visitor is most likely to need them.
- The purpose of horizon scanning and the questions it is designed to answer.
- The horizon 2035 outlook and the signals that inform it.
- The scenarios that test how different futures might unfold.
- The glossary, which explains the terms used across the site.
The aim of a scan is not to predict the future but to make the present easier to question.
Following the work
The what we do page sets out the hub's activities in more detail. It is the best place to start if you want to understand how scanning feeds into the discussions that follow.
Each published output records the sources it draws on and the date on which they were reviewed, so that readers can judge how current the picture is.
Using the tour
Begin with the about horizon scanning page if you are new to the method. It sets out the vocabulary and the reasons for the approach.
Updates are published as the underlying evidence changes. The latest news page lists recent additions in date order.

When you have finished the tour, the horizon 2035 outlook and the scenarios page show how the scanning work is applied. The team page describes who prepares the material and how to get in touch.
