Forum Representatives meet HANR team

Ten members of the Street Carers Forum Representative Group met tonight with Mike Friel and Paul Whittingham, plus two observers interested in the work.

Working on the basis of the Terms of Reference the discussion focussed on what would be required to realise a formal partnership agreement between the Street Carers Forum and the Council, within the framework of the existing Voluntary Sector Compact framework.

Preparations to lay on a training scheme for team leaders and volunteers, with a pilot evening session for evaluation purposes in June, were discussed, informed by a document prepared for the Representative Group by Louise Thomas. Louise and Paula will liaise on the provision of suitable content and people to deliver it. The Representative Group will meet again at the end of May.
