Hello Everyone! When I put out my call for contributions for this newsletter none of us could have imagined that our lives would have changed so much so quickly.We are of course pleased to be sharing the articles provided by our Karten Centres and I hope that you enjoy reading them. Perhaps they will remind us of more normal times!
I know that you are facing unprecedented challenges within your organisations and wanted to provide assurance that we are here to help however we can.
Home Learning Support
Lots of the people you support will have returned home, or their needs will now be met within smaller residential groups.We have pulled together a collection of guidance, tutorials, webinars, specialist software, online learning and Covid-19 specific easy reads.The materials can be found here – https://karten-network.org.uk/home-learning-support/ We hope you find this useful and are keen to add other things that you would find useful.
Support for staff
We are having a weekly Zoom on Thursdays at 11.00 so why not join us for a #KartenCuppa. Save the slot in your diary and look out for the joining instructions via email. We’ve only had a couple so far but they have been really good for problem solving, sharing ideas and just helping if feeling isolated when working from home.
WorldSkills UK
WorldSkills UK have extended the registration period for National Competitions until 5 May. They believe this is in the best interests of all those involved in WSUK competition and it allows them to relax the time pressure across the UK by giving as many people as possible the chance to be involved in their competitions. This is a one off extension until 5 May 2020.
