This is a new course and it can be run just for your Council or centrally along with other participants. The aim is to help you build an effective team for both staff and councillors. We will explore the need for clarity of purpose, that teams need time and support to develop and the areas where things can go wrong. There will be a practical aspect to the course. As this is a new course we plan to respond to demand rather than set specific dates so if you are interested in this course, either as a Council or individually then please contact the office.
