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.
