If so, LLUK would like to invite you to attend a focus group to explore and discuss the skills associated with successfully managing volunteers and identify practical support materials that will help on a day to day basis. This event, planned as part of the MLA/ LLUK Strategic Partnership Agreement, will take place on Tuesday 27th March at the New Connaught Rooms, Covent Garden, London. LLUK is working in partnership with MLA, Volunteering England and employers to identify the specific skills issues related to managing volunteers within a library, archive or information service. This information will feed into the work being undertaken through the Sector Skills Agreement process that will develop action plans relating to the sector's priority skills needs for both paid staff and volunteers. The focus group will concentrate on developing practical support materials that can be used in your library, archive or information service to maximize the effectiveness of volunteers. The focus group will give you the opportunity to review a draft of the support materials and to contribute your knowledge to ensuring the accuracy and value of the handbook to all its users. LLUK, the Sector Skills Council for the lifelong learning workforce aims to ensure that lifelong learning employers can recruit, retain and develop highly skilled and effective staff, so that everyone in the UK across all industry sectors are able to gain access to the skills and knowledge needed to build a prosperous and inclusive society. The workshop will start at 10:30am and finish at 2:30pm including lunch and refreshments. If you and/or colleagues wish to attend could you please complete and return the attached response form to [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> by Wednesday 21st March 2007. In addition, LLUK would appreciate your support in promotion of this event through your own networks. If you are unable to attend the event, but would like further information on the handbook, or to contribute best practice information from your own organisation to include in the handbook, please reply to me at the address above. Thank you for your support - I look forward to hearing from you!
