Branch and support group resources
Documents and resources for members of our local
branches and support groups
Help us improve our branch and support
group resources
We're updating the manuals and guidance used by our local
groups. We'd like to find out what you need and use, so that we can
improve the resources we produce.
Please help us by completing our manuals and
guidance review online survey
Please discuss the questions as a committee so that there is one
return for each group. You'll need to refer to copies of our
branch and support group
documents
We have also sent each branch and support group a paper version
of the survey.
The deadline for responses is Friday 30 July
2010.
