GET ON in local government

In 2007, Dacorum Borough Council successfully achieved the full GO local government training award.

GET ON Local Government is the national campaign to address Skills for Life issues in the local government workforce. The campaign Is managed by the Improvement and Development agency (IDeA) and aims to encourage local authority employers to take a more proactive, sustained and strategic approach to workforce Skills for Life.

Skills for Life means the ability to read, write and speak English and use maths at a level which allows you to progress at work and in society.

We have embedded Skills for Life within our workforce planning and aim to give all staff the opportunity to achieve their full potential. This means that all staff have the opportunity to take a Skills for Life initial assessment and then have access to the facilities and individual support they need to improve their skills.
