Assertiveness Training

Angela Ahern, Derek McMillan and Dave Thomas ran the first taster session on assertiveness training on 28 April. I think it is a measure of the success of the course that everyone who attended the course expressed an interest in John Illingworth's report Crazy about Work and in any further assertiveness training courses provided by the NUT

A number of those who attended were supply teachers and mentioned the difficulty of getting Continuing Professional Development. NUT CPD is free but much of the CPD provided requires funding from schools and supply teachers who are not attached to a particular school are unlikely to receive any.

When we approached West Sussex about this, we were informed "there is no funding stream which can support this" which is unsatisfactory.
