Facilitating a Workshop

For anyone who delivers a staff development session for Bournemouth University employees it is important to the participants that there is consistency in the service we can offer to help the facilitator, the way we collect, use and record any information and the evaluation process which takes place. See our facilitator guidelines for further information (all comments welcome)

Facilitator's Request Form

The following form is designed to provide consistency to the service we offer. We welcome all feedback and understand that not every aspect of the process can be captured this way. Please contact us (65014) if you have any problems.

Use this form to:

  • Promote an event on the Staff Development website
  • Change existing event details such as description and dates
  • Request that Staff Development manage the bookings
  • Request Staff Development to assist with room bookings
  • Miscellaneous

Refreshments Guidelines

Our aim is to provide an enjoyable experience for everyone who comes to one of the sessions held by Staff Development. We believe that the atmosphere of a developmental activity has an important impact on the event; therefore we endeavour to make the time spent on a session as comfortable as resources allow. See our refreshment guidelines for further information.
