By Lee Dale, Community Development Coordinator, VOICES

After a momentary pause and much reflection, we are proud to announce that once again we have started a new series of community of practice sessions.

If you are unfamiliar with the concept and want to know more CLICK HERE to read a previous article, written by Steve Freeman, COP chair.

Its important to say here that these sessions are not intended to be a “talking shop” and previous seasons have proven that this certainly isn’t the case. Our aim is to bring professionals and individuals with lived experience together in a safe environment to discuss and share good practice as well as highlighting barriers and system blockages within the sector.

A huge part of the learning comes from the networking that takes place where discovering each others roles and what we can do for each other really adds value to our work.

We run our community of practice on a monthly basis and provide refreshments and a working lunch.

If this is something you feel would add benefit to your organisation / workforce please contact our community development coordinator Lee Dale on 07769 177 192 or email [email protected] who will happily add you to the mailing list and provide you with dates and times of the next upcoming sessions.
