Community Reps training 2007

9 Nov 2007

The second round of Community Reps training finished in November 2007. Participants came from six Local Drug Taskforces areas and one Regional Drugs Taskforce.

Funded by the DCRGA through the Drugs Strategy Unit, designed by Citywide and delivered by ETS this is the only course of its kind running in the country.

The course is accredited by FETAC at level 5 and covers eight primary areas:

1. How Local Drugs Taskforces Work
2. Introductions to Building Effective Relationships
3. Understanding your Role & Responsibilities
4. Negotiations Theory and Practice
5. Communications Skills
6. Developing Leadership & Influencing skills
7. Handling Problems and conflict / Problem Solving Techniques
8. Consensus Decision Making and strategising

Feedback from participants so far has been extremely positive with many noting that the skills they are developing can be applied far wider than just at taskforce level.

Assuming continued funding we hope to deliver this course again in the New Year in the regions.
