Dear All The North West Region of the Archives and Records Association is planning its training activities for 2018-2021. In order to tailor training to people's needs as closely as possible we have designed a survey to find out just what these needs are. We invite anyone working with archives or records in any capacity in the North West of England to complete this survey. If you feel you would benefit from adding to your existing skills we would like to hear from you. It doesn't matter whether you have qualifications or not, or whether you are paid or unpaid as long as you work in archives, records management or conservation in the North West. The survey, which will remain open until 31 July 2018 should take you no longer than 10 minutes to complete. Your response will be completely anonymous and the data generated only used for the purposes of planning future training. Please follow the link <https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/ARA_NW_Skills_Audit> https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/ARA_NW_Skills_Audit If you have any questions or problems in completing the survey please contact Caroline Williams <mailto:[log in to unmask]> [log in to unmask] Please circulate this message and the link to the survey to anyone you think might be interested in contributing - especially if they are otherwise unlikely to see it.
