21st August 2019[ISL interpretation of the English text:]
SLIS have developed a Response Paper to address feedback from our National Forum meeting on the 8th June.
This paper has been developed from notes taken at the break-out sessions in the afternoon of the Forum. It should not be taken as a set of detailed minutes of the event. PLEASE NOTE: Points raised by attendees do not necessarily reflect the views of the staff or Board of SLIS.
It should be read in conjunction with the draft consultation papers that were distributed to attendees before the event.
The documents outline some of the directions that we will follow in the establishment of a new Registration and Quality Assurance scheme.
Below please find links to the Response Paper, as well as a shorter, summary document that deals with the major points of feedback coming from the Forum.
