As an Officer of the Committee, do you fully understand the roles and responsibilities of a voluntary organisation? Do you know about the VLE and the information available to you? Are you confident that you can recruit replacements when your time as a Committee Officer is up?

This support network is an informal opportunity for Officers of the Committee to get together and network with others in a similar role, to learn from each other’s experiences, to discuss common issues, and to start to plan for future succession.

Managers and leaders of committee run settings: This network is essential for your committee members to attend.

These networks will provide Childminders and SENCOs with:
Up to date information about national and local initiatives regarding SEND.
Opportunities to share professional discussions and dialogue on an identified topic or theme for the evening.
Opportunities for practitioners to update their knowledge and share practice on SEND.

Each series of meetings will have a spotlight on a particular aspect of SEND. This may include a speaker and will provide practitioners with opportunities for professional discussion and dialogue.

You are invited to a repeat session of Speed Reading with Rhodes Training

Who is it for?

This workshop is for anyone who would like to be able to read their general work-related documents in a fraction of the time that it currently takes.

What is it about?

Speed Reading is about understanding how our eyes work and then using a couple of simple techniques to make them move faster and cover the material more quickly. During the workshop you will try these techniques and, through a series of timed exercises, find out which ones work best for you.

The ideas we cover are suitable for reviewing general work-related material to help you to assess whether the document needs more in-depth reading.
