Agenda

This is a half day workshop from 10am – 1pm

·      No overheads/PowerPoint,

·      No long boring lectures,

·      No one is ever ‘put on the spot’ or asked to do embarrassing role-play

·      Just add a touch of comedy to make the time go quick and make the whole experience enjoyable

By the end of the workshop participants will:

·      Have explored the demography of Wiltshire, their wards, and how it might affect upon their work as elected members and the concept of ‘fairness’.

·      Have updated themselves briefly on the legal framework and in particular the new Equalities Act 2010.

·      Have explored issues of homelessness and unemployment, myths, stats, facts, and perceptions...and...What does it all mean to us as elected members here in Wiltshire?

·      Have explored issues surrounding and supporting the unemployed; the realities and the scare stories, and again, how can we help as elected members?

·      Have discussed and explored issues of travellers and community safety ...who is at risk in reality and ...what can we do? What is our responsibility as a council?
