About the tools
- They take 15 - 30 minutes to use.
- They are deliberately low tech and unintimidating to use.
- They consist of: instructions; downloadable relevant resources
(for instance topic cards), and a powerpoint presentation of
supporting information.
- They are free, and voluntary and community sector development
workers don't need to ask permission to use them with groups.
- They can be adapted for work with specific groups or local
circumstances.
- Have a look at the
hints and tips (Word, 29 KB) sheet that goes with the tools
too.

How they were developed
SKiLD tools for development workers was funded by
the Governance Hub.
The tools were originally created by a set of development workers
who support groups. SKiLD would like to thank them very much for
their enthusiasm and brain power.
The Governance Hub has also developed a range of useful tools for
development workers, specifically about governance and related
topics. You can download them from
www.governancehub.org.uk
