Good training comes from good research

I personally think a lot of this “follows” from the research and mapping because you can find out what training exists, including potentially re-usable materials. And you can find out where gaps are.

The trick is going to be finding cost effective ways of delivering training and a variety of training options according to both the type of digital mentor and the outcomes that are intended. By that I mean one demonstrator might look at say, trusted intermediaries, who could be digital mentors, but aren’t currently playing that role, so maybe a health visitor or social worker (!). that demonstrator may be breaking new ground and may require training and development for different kinds of stakeholder.

This links then into the sustainability and scalability issues.

I really do think we need to think widely on this bid…and I see all the parts fitting together… so sometimes it’s a bit tricky to just write on what siloed topic… yet we do need a way to focus!
