Minutes of the cpd25 Statutory Requirements & Legal Compliance Task Group held 6th September 2007 at The School of Pharmacy Present: Michelle Wake (Chair), Tony Haworth, Robert Atkinson, Kristy Widdicombe, Diana Watt, Ruth Harrison, Suzy Ball (Administrator). 1. Apologies: Caroline Lloyd. 2. Minutes of Previous Meeting: These were accepted as an accurate record. 3. Matters Arising: A new organiser is needed for the ‘Chartermark’ event. Caroline’s future involvement and availability to advise on this, and future events, needs to be clarified. There may be a need to rest this event or to canvass opinion of cpd25 members, via email, before deciding whether or not it should run. 4. Task Group Membership Update: Michelle Wake is now the chair of the task group. At least one new member is needed and current members are to seek out interested parties within their own institution. 5. Review of Events: i. Shibboleth (18.5.07). Ruth and Robert worked together on this event. There was lots of interest in this and 29 people attended. It was well received and the Q & A element went particularly well. ii. Tate Britain Visit (15 / 28.6.07). Led by Dave Puplett. The event went well and needed to be limited to one place per institution due to its popularity. iii. Disability Round Table Event (30.08.07). Organised by Kristy and held at the Institute of Education. 33 people attended, the feedback on the event’s semi-formal structure, and in general, was positive and the event served to identify possible speakers for future events. The focus was on encouraging attendees to exchange their experience and highlight areas for the task group to focus on for future events. Kristy provided an initial summary of the outcomes of the discussions and a list of possible future speakers. All attendees have asked to have a copy of this summary and a version will also be passed on to the cpd25 Steering Group. This task group is likely to focus on a ‘Disability Equality Duty’ event in the first instance but would welcome the other suggested training events, highlighted in Kristy’s summary, being taken up by other task groups. 6. New programme for 07/08: i. Web 2.0. Diana to define scope of event and circulate her ideas to task group members. Although this is an area widely covered by many different organisations it was felt that a session that avoided the common, overly positive, approach would be useful and popular. ii. Plagerism. Ruth and Kristy to organise a Data protection focussed event. Likely to run a half day session during Jan/Feb 08. iii. Diversity. Diana to lead. A half day session could run in May with case studies presented by a variety of speakers in addition to the use of an existing presentation previously produced by the University of Westminster. iv. Copyright. Ruth and Kristy to organise a half day session in April, with a focus on copyright in relation to VLE’s and the ERA Licensing Scheme. v. Disability. Tony and Kristy to work on this, aiming for a date in June. Focus to be influenced by the round table event. vi. Legal research Skills. Robert to Liaise with Gerry Power and aim for a March 08 Date. vii. Retirement / Pensions event. Robert to organise, aiming for a Jan/ Feb 08 date, and will speak to JSB. Visits: i. Bronzefield prison. Michelle working on finalising two dates in December. Visit is limited to 6 people and names are needed in advance. Advertising email to make it clear that those that book a place must ensure they can attend. ii. Wandsworth Prison. Tony to arrange dates in Jan / Feb. The same restrictions would apply in terms of numbers and security arrangements. iii. Wiener Library. Robert to arrange one or possibly two visits. Numbers may be limited due to the size of the library. iv. The national Archives at Kew. Tony to arrange a June date. v. BFI. Kristy to arrange a March date, avoiding the Easter break. 7. AOB: The group wished to note their appreciation for Caroline Lloyds contribution over the years and to wish her well in her new role as M25 Treasurer. 8. Next meeting: A room, at Westminster University, will be arranged by the administrator for early May. |
