Any other business • Breakfast Briefing on Freedom of Information Jennifer asked the groups opinion on the focus of this session from the Senior Managers view point. The group agreed that aspects such as compliance stages and exemptions would be of interest to Senior Managers. • M25 Disability Group Carole as a member of the M25 Disability Group reported on the issues that the group would be interested in exploring as events. These focused on “Mobility Issues�? and “SENDA two years on�?. It was agreed that the group needed to present these ideas during the planning session of CPD25 in order to accommodate them in the programme. • Membership Caroline would review the membership and contact those who had not been able to attend recently to see if they wished to continue an active membership. • Insurance Caroline raised the issue of Insurance for cpd25, specifically Public Liability Insurance.
