Reviewing the TSI Common Services
TSI
focus group workshop - invitation for expressions of interest
Wednesday 10th July 2013, 12.30 to 4.00
Robertson
House, Bath Street, Glasgow
Voluntary Action Scotland (supported by the Services Quality
and Impact Group) is undertaking a review of the Common Services developed in
partnership with TSIs and published in October 2012. The intention is to
identify improvements that could be made for an updated version for 2014/15*.
The review aims to capture intelligence from the TSI network
on what improvements could be made to the Common Services based on the
increased familiarity and experience of working with, and delivering towards
them. We want to find out: potential improvements to the Common Services;
'other ways' that TSIs are contributing to the delivery of the Common Services;
and challenges and opportunities in delivering the Common Services.
Voluntary Action Scotland will facilitate a half day workshop
for operational level TSI representatives to inform the review. It is aimed at those working in practitioner roles
across the TSI network with good working knowledge of one of more of the 4
Common Service themes. We are
now seeking expressions of
interest from officers within the TSI network to take part.
Please contact Elaine Gibb elaine.gibb@vascotland.org
* Please note this is about identifying
improvements for a 2014/15 updated version of the Common Services. It does/will
not affect or change this year's reporting format/process in any way.
