Welcome to the August 2008 issue of the WSA e-newsletter.  If you haven't done so already, please visit the new U****Ed WSA website, which has undergone several changes.  A new training programme for North Wales has also been published and a list of up and coming courses is listed to the left.  The new courses for January - June 2009 will be published towards the end of the year.  In the meantime, if there are any courses you are interested in then please book now as places are going fast!

The WSA website is currently in the process of being U****Ed and given a new look for easier accessibility and navigation.  Amongst new additions is a faqs page, membership benefits and services section, site map for easier navigation and a Guidance and Governance section with hundreds of templates, documents and links on useful topics including finance, child protection, corporate governance and risk management.  The Welsh version of the site is still undergoing minor changes, however all the English U****Es have now been completed and are ready for use. 

If you haven't already viewed the new training programme for North Wales, please do so here.  The courses cover the period September - December 2008 and include IT training.
