Personal Development

Learning is an individual thing. How we take information in, make sense of it and apply it is unique to us, therefore personal development will be different for every one of us.

We deliver learning opportunities which address a wide range of learning preferences- so we can offer you something to meet your learning needs.

Conferences
Want to discuss developments affecting local authorities and councillors and network with councillors from across the region? See what conferences for members we have planned.

Regional Courses and Events
We have a range of events in our course calendar which are highly topical, key development areas, providing an excellent and unique opportunity for councillors. Key topics include:

• Reaching the hard to reach
• Using social media
• A Series of events to support female councillors

Accredited Development Programme
Do you prefer to be part of a programme of study which leads to a nationally recognised qualification? In partnership with South West Councils, we have an accredited development programme for councillors, the BTEC Advanced Award for Councillor Champions at Level 3.

Reading and Research
