Since there have been a number of conferences on this subject (and no doubt there are likely to be more) I think it might be helpful for all of us to receive clarification about which staff this is aimed at. Money is tight (well it is for us) and I cannot work out if it is aimed at Student Advisors who I would expect to be fully converscent with these issues.
