Getting to know your partners
- Do you want to know more about how partner organisations work?
- Or maybe you want to know more about the challenges partner organisations face and what opportunities they have that could support you?
- Have you ever wondered why partners make the decisions they do?
- Or do you want to understand how other organisations risk assess and manage that risk?
- How would you go about finding community and voluntary services that are available for the people you work with?
- If the answer is yes to any of the above questions, come along and join us for one of our Getting to know your Partners lunchtime sessions.
These sessions will include a Q&A and you can ask your colleagues anything to do with their organisations, services and daily practices, to help you gain a better understanding and promote an improved collaborative working approach.
Cost to participants: Free (However, if a delegate fails to attend a course that they have booked, or cancel with less than five working days’ notice, their organisation will be charged)
