Introduction to the region:
The London Region – Staff Developers Network meetings provide staff developers in London an opportunity to share practice, exchange ideas and provide a mutual support network of experienced staff development practitioners.
Format of the sessions
The sessions are informal in nature and usually start with a round table review and sharing of current activities, issues, and opportunities. The agenda for each meeting is collectively agreed by the group members and, whenever possible, we aim to invite members or guest presenters to share and demonstrate examples of innovations in staff development. Meetings and events are open to colleagues in other SDF groups by prior arrangement.
