This process will not be a mapping exercise but rather an attempt to gain an understanding of the education, training and development needs of the practitioners as well as issues relating delivery of training. An underlying theme here will be to try and access this data in a manner that is meaningful both to the project and the people the data is being collected from. Long lists of needs are not particularly useful to individuals or those who might offer the training. It is vital that all people involved commissioners, service directors and managers and the practitioners themselves that support and development are essential to the delivery of a good service – they are not just nice 'add ons'. The final outcomes for this process will be an attempt to help agencies look more reflectively on the training needs of their staff and to look at how staff development can become more integrated into the functioning of the organisation. It will also help them to think about how we balance the needs of the individual, the professional and the organisation or service. |
