Partnership working training

'I feel much better equipped to talk with schools, to work with them as partners with common aims.' Museum Staff.

'Fantastic to have such a productive day with teachers and librarians. We have moved a long way towards working more closely together in the future.' Public Library Staff.

Every Child Matters requires that agencies work together in providing joined-up services to support children in their learning and development. These courses explore practical ways to use reading to connect practitioners in delivering such services.

As with all of Jerry's training, sessions can be tailored to specific local needs. Jerry is also happy to create new courses. Training is adaptable to Library, School, Archive, Theatre, Arts, Museum, Heritage, Sports and Leisure settings.

Areas commonly explored across these training options:

Finding common agendas
Policy and research evidence to support joint work focused on reading
Best practice and case studies
How partnerships might work
Overcoming potential barriers to partnership
Reading ideas and activities
Action planning

The session was pitched at exactly the right level in content, delivery and opportunities for participation and debate. Importantly, the whole session was infused by a sympathetic understanding of exactly where the delegates were coming from in terms of their knowledge, enthusiasm, experience and capacity. Trust was established quickly and this led to a welcome openness in debate. All the delegates graded the session as 10/10 and wanted a return visit to continue the relationship.'
Peter Burns, Youth Services Manager, Durham Libraries
