A report detailing the arrangements and progress on Members’ training
Additional documents:
Minutes:
Submitted - the report of the Learning and
Development Manager, noting that 35 learning and development opportunities had
been offered across 87 events. The service had also worked to develop a
learning and development provision, looking into and using different methods of
provision. He emphasised that the learning and development programme was a live
programme, and that feedback and suggestions were welcomed.
Observations arising from the discussion:
-
The
programme was useful to members. Would it be possible to make some types of
training compulsory?
-
It
would be useful to offer training on Unconscious Bias for Members and staff.
-
Whilst
the numbers who attended some events were disappointing, it was not possible
for all members to be present for different reasons.
-
Continuing
to develop alternative methods of providing training was important.
-
Was
it raising awareness or training that was most important in some cases?
The Learning and Development Manager thanked
the Committee for the observations and suggestions, emphasising that the
service needed to be flexible, and offer a number of opportunities and
different methods for members to receive learning and development
opportunities.
RESOLVED
to accept the report.
