Click here for summary notes from the Glasgow Share and Support event.It was clear from the post course feedback from our original workshops that people have found it difficult to keep inclusion on the agenda, amidst all the other competing issues. The purpose of the ‘Share and Support’ events is to provide a focus, motivation and opportunities for peer support and further learning – sharing what has worked will and discussing any difficulties encountered and how these might be addressed.

These sessions will be facilitated by Joette Thomas, who delivered the initial training programme.

These events are supported by the Scottish Executive enabling us to offer them free of charge.
