Nicholas Skuse Attended
Main areas of discussion were:
- Steve Clark is to meet with Helen Trelease regarding 10 free sessions of tier 2 CAMAT training that has been offered to the VCS.
- Truro College will also be offering places to VCS organisations in January on their tranche of CAMAT training being delivered by the LSCB. This will be discussed between Steve Clark and Helen Trelease.
- A tier 2 E-Learning package will be commissioned soon and on completion this will be made available to the VCS.
- IVO have offered to jointly fund another ‘Emerging Technologies Event’. The TDG have said that they would fully support an event of this type, and provide financial support, however they are not able to administer the event so would want IVO to organise it.
- An Item of AOB was raised from Steve Clark who wanted a definition of small, local independent VCS organisations. The TDG decided that applications for free training would be decided on an individual basis. There is a feeling that large national VCS orgs such as NSPCC, AFC and Barnardos are sufficiently funded to pay for training.
- I explained that the VCS were rationalising their representation on the LSCB sub groups and that Cherry would be the VCS rep with me as her deputy.
Issues for next meeting were:
- Training Coordinators update
- Single agency training update
- Website
- Budget
- Agency Issues
Issues the VCS need to respond to are:
- 10 Free CAMAT tier 2 sessions (Steve Clark & LSCB)
- Truro College CAMAT sessions (Steve Clark & LSCB)
- Emerging technologies conference (IVO & LSCB)
