Webinars
Welcome to our range of webinars, which will continue to grow over the next 12 months as we adapt and offer new ways of providing services to our member councils.
This new learning model is a collaboration with our neighbouring county associations. Our partnership aims to ensure that training will be relevant to current and emerging needs of our sector, delivered by subject specialists and practitioners and cost effective to ensure that even the smallest Parish Council can book their Councillors and Staff.
The benefits of us working together with our colleagues across our region will be reflected in our competitive pricing model and on occasions our ability to offer free training.
