Workshop Reviews
Launched
As you may be aware, this year has been a very busy time for workshop and resource reviews. We have seen the launch of Safeguarding and Protecting Children (formerly Good Practice and Child Protection) and Equity in Your Coaching, after the content of the workshops and accompanying resources were taken through a major review. The feedback from both of these new workshops has been extremely positive.

There are a number of workshops and resources currently under review which therefore means that they are not available to be booked until further notice.
- Goal Setting and Planning - renamed Planning and Periodisation. This major review will reinstate this resource and workshop as a key text for all Level 3 coaches. To be rolled out from 1 October 2007, subject to availability of tutors in your area. Please contact the Business Support Centre if you wish to run this workshop, further information on the changed and content of the workshop including the links to support UKCC coaches is available on the website.
