November 2023 News and Workshop

The newsletter aims to bring you up to date and help prepare for our major workshop on
November 15 10.00 - 4.00 pm. at the Leopold Library. You are invited to attend this meeting but please RSVP to help us with planning. If you cannot come but think your colleague might, that is fine by us so long as we get the RSVP!!) Lunch will be provided.

Liddy has been very busy talking to as many people as possible who have contributed great ideas and warnings. In addition, Liddy was lucky enough to go to the VRAN Rabbit Action Leaders Boot Camp. Wow! What a powerhouse of good practice!

Now, a 'white-paper' is being slowly put together - there is so much to think about, as we are preparing for our major workshop. The paper will be made available to you a week before the workshop and comments will be VERY welcome.

We need to have records of all the important ideas, and notes about with whom we can pursue them - this is a strategic plan we are developing and it will probably take 10 years to fully implement it.

Our idea is to develop the strategic plan and then review it each year, based (we hope) on lots of evidence of what is being done and what is working.

We very much need your help. Getting to the root of the problem is not about tinkering at the edges - it involves a massive re-think and some new ideas. It is also about not just using anecdotal evidence but backing it up. where we can, with tested evidence. There has been a lot of work and research and we want it to inform our future.

The immediate plan is to complete the draft white-paper, circulate it to you and invite comments, additions/corrections and then to review it and re-send it before our workshop. Our workshop will be fun, facilitated by the Together Apart, with great input from Tim Bloomfield, our special VRAN colleague. - the pressure is on!

If you have news, ideas, queries, or otherwise, please feel free to share them.

We are keen to hear from you at
