Many participants commented on the experience of training with
other professionals. "Interesting to see how other professionals
see the same area," one participant observed. All agreed that the week was effective in raising awareness of the issues around "Changing Families". There were highlights in the week,such as the sculpt, whose impact was 'quite profound,' but each session had something to offer the group. Although participants found the training an intensive experience, their commitment and involvement made it pleasurable for all. Of the trainers, comments included, "Good to hear someone with passion and wide knowledge about a complex issue" and, " Very good, enjoyable day, good pace, engaging trainers." We wish the teams well as they start in their areas and hope they will be able to use the experience of the course and the numerous handouts such as the local Directory of agencies in their work. Further NCS TrainingIn the Autumn we move to Central Region for more NCS Staff training. Watch this space for more details. 01.05.2003A Manifesto for Scotlands Families posted on this site giving an insight into our aims and objectives. 01.04.2003May and June sees a busy time for Scotland's Families.
