How much do internal staff development events cost?
|
|
Internal staff development events are generally free of charge. There may be some occasions when it is appropriate to charge a small fee, however, this is very rare and will be clearly indicated on the web page.
|
|
How do I book a place? |
|
Each advertised event contains details of who to contact to book your place.
|
|
Do I need approval to attend an event?
|
|
Professional and support staff are asked to discuss their attendance with their line manager. Academic and senior staff do not need approval to attend events, however the good practice of discussing your development with your line manager is still appropriate.
|
|
Do you have waiting lists for an event I may have missed?
|
|
The Staff Development workshop programme is updated and published at the start of every term and this website is updated regularly. However if the event that you would like to attend has passed or you are unable to attend on the advertised date, please do contact the organiser and ask to be included on the waiting list. The organiser of the event will then contact youautomatically when the new dates are confirmed. Some events are prioritised by numbers on the waiting list, so it is always a good idea to register your interest.

|
What if I book a place at an event and then find that I am unable to attend?
|
|
Once you have booked a place at an event the facilitator will organise the resources, refreshements and group work with your attendance in mind. It would therefore be helpful if you would cancel or postpone your place as soon as you know that you will be unable to attend and in any event at least 48 hours before the event is due to take place. Facilitators reserve the right to cancel or postpone any event that has less than 6 participants.

I have thought of an event\topic that I think would be worthwhile, however, it is not listed on the website
|
|
Some of the events on the staff development programme are organised in response to requests. If you would like to suggest a topic, please contact Colleen Harding or Sarah Cronin on ext 65014. They will investigate whether or not it is appropriate to offer the event internally, or will be able to make recommendations for external events.

|
How can I find out about external events?
|
|
The external market for personal and professional development events is huge and it would be difficult to contain the details within this website. However, if you click on External Events you will find a range of external events offered for staff in HE. Specifically, there are workshops offered by:
