Free learning events for LINks members

09/02/2012

The Department of Health has asked a consortium of its voluntary sector strategic partners, including NAVCA, to run a series of learning events for LINks members over the next few months. These events will focus on how people can develop their skills as leaders, carry out enter and view visits, represent the views of local people, engage with diverse local communities and influence decision makers.

Katy Wing, NAVCA’s Director, Improving Local Services said, “These are a great opportunity to share and embed best practice across all LINks in the run up to local Healthwatch. They are ideal for LINks members who wish to gain more confidence and enhance their skills, as well as those who are new to LINks and want to make a difference to local health and social care services.”

The events will be delivered by NAVCA in partnership by Disability Rights UK, the Race Equality Foundation and Regional Voices.
