LSN: The Secretary of State says that local authorities have a key strategic role with all providers; while increased autonomy for schools and colleges reduces direct local authority influence.  Squaring this circle is the challenge for local authorities!
 
LSN, the not-for-profit education specialist, together with John Freeman CBE warmly invite you to attend one of their regional seminars that focus on how local authorities can respond best to the challenges, and how they can operate in the new world. You can book online now by using the links below:
Tuesday 23 November 2010 – London

VSO: Want to share your skills overseas but don't know where to start?  Come and meet VSO in Birmingham. Meet VSO gives you with the opportunity to chat with VSO staff & returned volunteers about the volunteer experience.
 
The event begins with an informal presentation and lasts approximately 90 minutes.  In that time we'll provide you with lots of information about volunteering with VSO, from explaining the application process to telling you about the skills we need and the jobs we have available.
