*

*
Appreciate the value and uses of a CDP
*
Understand the issues surrounding the implementation and administration of the
policy
*
Know how to promote the policy within your institution or authority
The
workshop will involve practical work. In addition to talks and demonstrations
from the workshop leaders, you will be undertaking small group exercises of
different kinds.
