Peer Support Group Meeting for PA Employers
Thursday 05 August 2010
Are you a PA employer? Why not come along to our next Peer Support Group meeting on Thursday 5th August from 1-3pm at Norton Park. I am a PA employer myself and know how daunting it can feel. I have found it useful over the years to hear other employer's experiences of things that work well, and sometimes not so well. We tend to keep the meeting quite informal, a cuppa and a biscuit, and a chance to share experiences and ask questions from other people who employ PAs. Please do let LCiL know if you intend coming. If you have any particular issues you would like to add to the agenda, let us know, or you can just bring it up on the day. Katrina, LCiL Independent Living Officer
