Networks to support development workers

Read What makes a network work?

SKiLD's overall aim is to give development workers the skills and knowledge they need to support groups well. A key way of doing this is by encouraging development workers to support each other via local networks.

To find out if there's a network in your area, have a look at our initial list of development worker networks in England. It's by no means complete, so please contact Alan Turner if you know about any others.
