OUR Communities of Practice

Creating effective, self-sustaining communities helps to galvanise practice, build camaraderie across the Trusts represented in our Forum and provide a space for members to fully explore professional themes and thinking pertinent to their everyday roles.

The Trust CPD Leaders’ Forum Communities are designed to be places where colleagues can challenge educational orthodoxies without fear of judgment and allow for true flexibility and the exercise of professional thought.

In the spirit of professional generosity and collaboration, the Forum’s communities of practice also offer an opportunity for colleagues to work collectively to work towards solutions for their own respective Trusts on individual projects/ initiatives and give us an opportunity to co-create resources and support that are beneficial to the sector as a whole. 

 Members of the Forum can be a part of more than one CoP if they wish, but should be mindful of the time commitment.

Communities of Practice will also invite external guests to challenge thinking, engage in debate and to further understanding of the area of focus.
